Water in Iceland
Kindly note the water in Iceland has this particular smell because of the sulphur in it. It is in fact one of the cleanest and most delicious drinking water in the world. Unlike in many neighbouring countries, the Icelandic water is free of chlorine, calcium, and nitrate. We can assure you that the quality of tap water everywhere in Iceland is regularly monitored and tested.

We recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip to Iceland, which covers issues as delayed baggage, travel accidents, weather trip cancellations and emergency overseas medical. EU members can use their European Health Insurance Card in Iceland (medical expenses).

You can reach us 24/7 through phone or email.

Cozy in Reykjavik

This was a lovely cozy home in a great location! Close to the center and the bus terminal, supermarket just around the corner, and relatively quiet. The wifi was a bit slow/didn't always reach the far end of the flat but it just encouraged us to hang out together more!

Great apartment, close to restaurants and shopping. Very clean. Only complaint is that it can get noisy with people walking by at night. It was fine for us but might bother some people. The neighbor is super cute and the apartment was perfect for our family if 4.

We loved this place. The location is hard to beat and having so many books to choose from made the stay extra special. Now I have to go check out Heavens Lathe to see how it ends! The beds were comfy and the kitchen had all we needed. Thanks for offering this sweet spot.

Great location

It was very easy, checking into our apartment. The apartment itself was very clean. However, the bathroom sink seemed a little bit small and there was a weird smell from the water which we understand is due to the sulfur content. The location was near everything and we were able to find parking Nearby. Our only complaint was that the wooden deck surrounding the house was extremely slippery and one of my daughters fell and really hurt yourself bad on the steps. They may want to warn people that it gets so slippery when wet.

Great location!

Really I wish I could give this place a 4.5 rather than a 4. It worked really nicely for my family of four when we visited. The location can't be beat. It's super close to downtown restaurants and stores but on a quiet side street so it wasn't loud. It's so easy to walk to everything, and there's a grocery store less than two block away, so we only ever used the car when going out of the city. On-street parking was reasonably easy to find, (it's worth it to try to find a spot a block or two away to get the cheaper parking zone but it was still close, easy, and seemed safe). In the apartment we loved the seating in the living area - comfy and plenty of room for all of us. My only two complaints would be:- The beds could use some additional pillows (there was only one per person and not very comfy)- The washer-dryer is actually one unit and is small. So you can't wash a load while drying another, which is limiting. Also the dryer doesn't fully dry the clothes, but there is a big drying rack which works just fine, as long as you don't need something dry immediately. Both are relatively small complaints, just worth knowing ahead of time. Overall, I totally recommend this place!

Cosy flat in a great location

This flat was cosy and comfortable and in a great location. It was a short walk to Laugavegur and there was a supermarket a couple of minutes walk away. Easy parking on the street outside the flat or on the surrounding streets for lower rates. Responsive host who provided lots of helpful information.

Credit Card Process

Stay was great. 2 days prior we got a message looking for a copy of the credit card we used to book the stay. We did that many months in advance. We didn't have that card on us during our trip. Found that stressful considering they had a good card on file and we'd already paid. I was looking for last minute lodging thinking they were going to reject us.

Great apartment at the heart of Reykjavik

Very nice comfortable accommodation in a quiet side street of downtown Reykjavik. Check-in and communications were very smooth. The only compromise was no on-site parking, but there is free on street parking about 5 minutes walk away.
