We enjoyed our stay at this home. Great location and access to restaurants and grocery.

The property is exactly as described so no surprises there. Our only issue was that a couple of repairs need to be made (bathroom door & hot water kettle). We needed some extra regular pillow covers (but we did not call the property manager for this). The cabin is very quaint, in an outstanding location, and the area is so very quiet you feel as though you are the only one in the area. Great location and would rent again.

Great location to explore Thingvellir and in a town filled with green house and hot springs! Helga was very responsive and quick to resolve any conflicts.

The house is located on the property of another house, which I couldn't tell from the photos but it's explained in the host video. I stayed for two nights and enjoyed how close everything was as far as groceries, gas, a delicious local bakery, a few restaurants, several popular hot spring areas, and of course, the Golden Circle route. The host was very communicative and flexible, which I am always grateful for. I would certainly stay here again.

The pics of the property are exceptionally well done. The home looks spacious in a woodsy setting. It’s actually very small, offering a full bed in a studio apartment setting that includes an efficiency kitchen, very large table and small couch, and a separate bedroom that fits a double bed and not much else. There’s very little unpacking room and a teeny-tiny bathroom. There may be a loft bedroom but it was sealed up and seemed to primarily be used for storage. Not what we needed for 4 adults. The setting was unexpected-it’s literally in a suburban back yard-with the windows of the rental directly facing the windows of owners home. We were forced to close the blinds for the entire stay to avoid being on constant display. This might be right for a couple with fewer inhibitions, but was not comfortable for 4 adults including my daughter and her fiancé.

This place was very nice. Not super Clean, but cozy and nice. Communication with helga was easy and efficient.

Pre-trip communication with Helga was excellent! She provided some restaurant options, two of which we tried and they were very good. The cottage was easily located and is very unique, both inside and outside. Some nice touches were washcloths, a hairdryer, and fresh Icelandic bread. Improvements could be made, though, on the following: The shower doors didn't close entirely, so water leaked outside of it. The drain had a sharp rubber piece sticking up which hurt when stepped on. Shampoo and soap dispensers weren't filled. Our 31-year-old son slept in the loft which was very small and somewhat claustrophobic. We strongly recommend installing a carpet runner or railing on those steep stairs. They seemed dangerous to all of us. In the bedroom, there's no room at the foot of the beds so you must climb over the person sleeping on the outside bed. I opted to sleep on the bed in the main living area.

We loved this place! What a sweet cabin in a great part of town! We wish we could have stayed longer!
