Location: Central and walking distance to all of downtown Reykjavik - accurate to listing, once car was parked we walked every where.
Parking: we got very lucky with parking and was able to get a spot in-front of the building both nights we stayed. Did not find it difficult at all to find spots - accurate to listing.
Communication/Booking process: very easy and seamless. The detailed instructions and photos provided prior to checkin was very helpful - accurate to listing.
The place itself was very clean, and just the perfect size. We had a one bedroom with sofa bed, extra bedding was provided when we checked in. All amenities as listed.
I would re-book at this location again

Property itself was clean, bed very comfortable and a good bathroom. Kitchen was TERRIBLY stocked - hardly any utensils or cooking equipment which made it very difficult to self-cater. We also had a bad check-in experience - despite being told we could arrive whenever and store our bags we couldn’t enter the building when we arrived - after calling several different numbers we finally spoke to someone who could sort out our problem (our codes weren’t activated properly).
To summarise, the apartment is in a great location but I wouldn’t recommend staying beyond a couple of nights as it is very basic.

I was looking forward for the opportunity to review this property as wonderful!
It is a block from the swimming pool and 2 blocks in any direction from tourist attractions and restaurants.
Though I had a car, which was hard to park after 5pm, I used the scooters to zip from one end of Reykjavik to another.
We had plenty of space with the pull out couch.
The laundry was free, however took over an hour for each cycle.
The management communicate with me quickly. -- If you hadn't been to Europe. take note, they don't use wash clothes or flat sheets. They switch out the duvet covers.
This place had a complete kitchen. Reykjavik is very expensive. I prefer to go to the grocery store to obtain a roasted chicken and veggies for the week.
It is very easy to heat each room, including the bathroom. It isn't that easy to cool off.
The street noise is very loud, however, the loud street noises weren't often.
I like the lock box. I wasn't worried about losing the key. My friend and I could go on separate adventures because the doors had the lock boxe. --- the doors are LOUD. the doors slam with a thunderous clap.
There was an option of leaving your luggage in a storage closet if you arrive early or are staying after check out. The internet was excellent. The TV channels are few, but
adequate.
One last thing, I noticed in Reykjavik that immigrants are treated like they are treated in the USA. Reykjavik and Iceland are so progressive, yet the entire country could do better with the staff they need for tourist.
