brilliant location - could not be better

Great flat and Jon was fantastic with comms beforehand. The location was absolutely first class in the heart of city - exactly where you need to be. Apartment was also great, all you could need, with shops and bars very close by indeed. Could not recommend this apartment any more - give it a try!

Amazing location, spacious apartment and great host

Right in the centre of Reykjavik within walking distance of so many sights, shops and activities that you have to choose which ones out of the array to go for. Host helpful and welcoming. Good instructions about how to get there and a wide selection of books and leaflets in the apartment to help you decide where to go. Lots of opportunities to join organised tours within walking distance; we combined organised trips with own choice days out and used the excellent parking garage under the apartments for the hire car. Very much recommend.

Fabulous apartment in a central location

My husband and I stayed 4 nights in this fantastic apartment. It was clean, it has everything you need (including a hair dryer, which was handy as I forgot to pack mine) and is tastefully furnished. Sofa and bed are really comfy too, which is great after a day sight seeing. This is an ideal place to stay when exploring beautiful Reykjavik. It is located on the main high street, next to some good restaurants and walking distance to all the main attractions. It also has a lovely view both at the front and back of the apartment. If you've booked a trip, all the main companies pick you from the door or very close by (two doors up). Jon is a very warm and friendly host. He is incredibly responsive and made us feel very welcome in his apartment. Overall we had a fantastic trip to Iceland and having a lovely place to stay, with a really lovely host just added to our experience.
