About this apartment rental
In the historic center where Reykjavík City‘s old heart beats there is a unique old house that used to be called Aberdeen.
The house is owned by a family of artists who have left their mark on every detail of the house. The style of the house is an interesting fusion of Scandinavian wooden old style from before the year 1900 and a modern raw artistic touch.
The location is fantastic, with a view over the streets of the old town, surrounded by museums, galleries, cafés, restaurants and the old harbour.
If you are into the unusual and want to experience an artistic side of Reykjavík, then this is your place.
Practicalities:
- This is a whole apartment (60sqm), which is ideal for a couple.
- A very descriptive Guest Guide packed with information and ideas for things to do in Reykjavík.
- Complimentary toiletries.
- The house is warm and cosy and full of home made art.
- Fully equipped kitchen.
- Parking is included during your stay.
- There is a laundromat just 3 mins walk away.
- This is one of Reykjavík's oldest wooden houses and is located so centrally that there may naturally be some noises from the city's street life.
- The proprietor is quite a seasoned traveler herself, speaks several languages and is well in tune with her beautiful country. She will be happy to be of assistance.
Well then, see you in 101 Reykjavík, at the very place this young city began!

Elsa is an incredibly kind host whose attention to detail is unmatched. The location is close to restaurants, museums, shops, etc. Anything you cannot walk to, the bus lines are within close proximity.

We had an amazing stay at the House of the Snowbird!! The location is fantastic - there are so many great places to eat, shop, drink, and sight-see within walking distance. The home is beautiful and historic and filled with amazing art. Elsa is delightful and provided so much interesting and helpful information about Reykjavik and Iceland in general. The rental was filled with great amenities for travelers. I really appreciated having a hair dryer, toothpaste (we ran out!), and delicious coffee as well as some items in the fridge waiting for us! The views of town from the home are charming and the bed was very comfortable. Check in and check out was very easy and Elsa was great with communicating with us. We had an amazing stay and are already dreaming of our return!!
