About this property

Luxury Ocean-View Balcony Apartment · Old Harbour · Downtown Reykjavík

  • Absolute luxury on Reykjavík's Old Harbour — one of the best apartments in Iceland, and our guests agree.

    Rated 9.8/10 from more than 130 verified reviews and in Vrbo's top 10% for guest reviews in Reykjavík. A private balcony over the harbour, the city's best restaurants a few steps away, and genuinely quiet nights.

    Staying a week or longer? Long stays are very welcome: 10% off stays of 7 nights or more and 25% off stays of 28 nights or more, applied automatically when you book. Ideal for a slow northern-lights winter, remote work or a longer Iceland trip.

    Why guests choose us

    • The view: a private balcony facing the harbour and the open northern sky.
    • The calm: right downtown, yet quiet at night, so you actually sleep. That is rare in the city centre.
    • The care: thoughtfully equipped and carefully cleaned between every stay.

    The apartment (65 m²)

    Bright, warm and finished to a high standard:
    • Bedroom with a king bed (splits into two twins on request)
    • Living room with a comfortable sofa bed and Smart TV
    • Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and coffee machine
    • Bathroom with walk-in shower and complimentary toiletries

    Northern lights and New Year's Eve

    From the balcony you face the harbour and the open sky to the north, the right orientation for spotting the aurora on clear, dark nights from September to March. We send aurora-forecast tips to every winter guest at check-in. On New Year's Eve the balcony is a front-row seat for the fireworks over the harbour.

    Your base for Iceland

    Concerts, culture, food and nightlife are on your doorstep, and day trips to the Reykjanes peninsula and the south coast are easy from here. Come back to a warm, quiet apartment at the end of the day.
