Nice apartment in Rejkjavik
The apartment was very nice and comfortable for our stay. The location is near several good restaurants and a grocery store. Downtown Reykjavik is only a 5-10 minute walk away.
The stairs were a bit steep and the parking was very tight, but at least it has onsite parking - most other places I saw seemed to make you find parking on the street.

Excellent property in a prime area. Check in was smooth and communication with owners was easy. Only thing to be aware of is it is slightly tricky stairs to access, so have to be comfortable with stairs and carrying your luggage up them. Overall will stay again.

the property was very nice and well-kept. It was also within walking distance of many different stores and restaurants. While the check-in time was a little late in the day, communication back and forth about the ability to check in early was great.

I gave everything on my review an excellent rating of 5 stars but on a scale of 1 to 5 I would give communication a 10! I so much appreciate the tools that i received from them to help me navigate my time in Reykjavík. The apartment was like the icing on the cake.

Parking availability was misleading. Not available for parties of two or less so you need to make your own arrangements. No elevator so be prepared to hike several sets of stairs with luggage. Located right on main strip so noisy in the evenings and overnight.

Mostly perfect. Room had a decently stocked kitchen and centrally located to the downtown area. Room didn't have parking but it was a sport walk to free parking so that wasn't an issue. The room had almost everything it needed to to feel comfortable and the convenience was stellar.
The only two minor things I would note is, since we were in a room with a full bed and a table, it would be nice if there were chairs for the table (not much options for if you're eating in the room). That and maybe a few more things in the kitchen for cook wear (like a baking tray or tongs). Otherwise a lovely room for the price, and I'd consider booking again for my return trip.

Poor upkeep
My first room smelled of sig and had disgusting stairs on the furniture. I was given an upgrade and a New studio. Generally I found the entrance areas and general upkeep poor. Central location, though!

2 night stay
The hotel was fine. We unfortunately had the top floor. Best views but tricky humping your luggage up the winding stairs. Never saw anyone working there. Check in and out was easy. Thankfully through emails we were able to get our room 2 hours earlier. Free parking is pretty much not happening unless you get lucky or rent the 4 person room. If you can get by without a car it will be less stressful in the city.There is a nail spa on the ground floor of this building. Had a great massage there!!

Ok room
After staying in a camper for 6 days we were excited to have our own bathroom and bed. The place was clean but the electricity was not on when we got there. Also the bathroom shower gets water all over the bathroom it doesn’t quite drain correctly. The bed was also two twins pushed together not the queen we thought it was. The parking was also deceiving because it said free parking but that’s only with certain units. We had to park about a 10 min walk for the free parking. The location was fantastic and the staff did respond quickly to any questions.

Lets start with the bad, the bad is we stayed at 401 and there is no elevator so I had to carry our luggage all the way up to 4th floor. When we got to the room, took a shower and drain clogged right away which means they did not clean the drain down below properly. They were very attentive and very good at communicating so they took care and sent someone right away but unfortunately we could not let them in because we were so tired from our flight.
The pros is everything is walkable here. If you take tours, the main bus stops are walkable. Shops and restaurants all over.
They also provided kitchen items and toileties and was very generous amount which we like. They also respond very quickly even days before our check in.
Overall, I would recommend this for the service and value.

Situación inmejorable
El apartamento es muy amplio, luminoso, está muy bien equipado y ubicado en un lugar inmejorable. El sistema de apertura de la puerta con tarjeta y clave es un poco engorroso, pero te acostumbras.

Wegen Self Check-in und Check-out gibt es keine Rezeption, was ich aber gut und praktisch finde. Es ist zentral gelegen, das Zimmer und Bad war sauber, praktisch und modern. Das Vorhandensein einer Kochmöglichkeit und eines Kühlschranks ist super. Ich würde es sofort wieder buchen.

Good apartment in a good location
Great location on the main restaurant and shopping street in Reykjavik. Close to the action without being disturbed by it. The studio apartment was very clean and well equipped.
