About this condo rental
A completely restored flat in one of Reykjavik’s “funkis style” houses ( one of the first architect designed residential houses in a planned neighbourhood), located in a quiet residential area, yet less than 5 minutes walk from the main shopping street in down town Reykjavik with numerous restaurants, bars and shops in the area. The house is typical of the area and is clad with what can best be described as lava like concrete coating for protection against the elements. Reykavik's main museums, galleries and harbour (in case you want to go whale watching) are all within 5-20 minutes walk. Our favourite seafood restaurant, Humarhusid (the lobsterhouse) is only about 15 minutes strole down the main shopping street. 10 minutes walk down to the seafront, 15-20 min walk to Öskjuhlíð where you can see all over Reykjavik and further. The flat is less than 5 minutes walk from the local grocery shop, pharmacy and the central bus station. The flat is less that 3 minutes walk to an indoor swimming pool The flat is decorated and equipped to a high standard. The flat is heated by underfloor heating controlled with wall-mounted dials. The flat is entered from outside, down steps through the entrance door which leads to a tiled hallway. The kitchen is fitted with electric hob and oven, fridge and microwave. There is coffee maker and all main kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery. The bathroom has a large walk in rain shower, fully tiled with a wide sink and large mirror. The bedroom has a queen sized comfortable double bed. The open plan lounge has a sofa bed which converts to a double bed, comfortably sleeping two adults. The lounge is fitted with a 50inch smart TV and two tall wardrobe units with hangers and drawers to accommodate your clothing and luggage. The flat has wooden flooring throughout and tiles in kitchen and bathroom. From the hallway there is an access door leading to a shared wash room equipped with a washing machine and fold-out clothing line to dry your washing.

We stopped in Reykjavik for our honeymoon. This location was perfect. Close to downtown but far enough to be able easily drive to other locations. Driving in the actual downtown would be very difficult. This place had everything we needed! Great shower pressure, living room space, easy check in/out.

This basement apartment was close to everything we wanted to do in the city and is also not far from Þingvellir. We did not get the chance to see the Northern lights while staying here, but know that it is possible. We went to Sky Lagoon, which was about 12 minutes away.
The apartment itself is nicely set up with a private bedroom, spacious shower (compared to our other stays in Iceland) and a kitchen with an oven (also a rare find from our other stays).
We really enjoyed the location and the surrounding area. The only downside is the noise that trickles down from the occupants of the first floor apartment, but it wasn't a deal breaker. We would certainly stay here again.

Great spot for me and my girlfriend to stay for the start of our trip in Reykjavik. The flat had everything we needed. It was a great location for walking into downtown Reykjavik and exploring the city. We would stay there again when we come back to Iceland! 🇮🇸

Very cozy and comfortable. Fantastic location! Close to bus stops (where tours pickup), nice grocery, some restaurants.
Was only there 2 nights after a cruise, but it would have been very comfortable for longer stay. If I return to RVK, would definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed our stay in Iceland. The apartment had everything we needed and was comfortable for our family of 4. We only had one noise issue from the upstairs neighbor one night. But overall a pleasant stay.

Quiet neighborhood. Apartment is located about 10 mins walk away from downtown and Hallgrímskirkja.
Kitchen is equipped for quick meals.

The apartment was clean and we had what we needed.
Size was fine for the two of us.Most very responsive.
I would probably paint the stairway and add a front pan and something to use in oven like a casserole dish

The place was clean, quiet and spacious. We loved the walking proximity to Hallgrimskirkja and downtown but still being in a free parking zone. We could hear the soft ringing of the church bells from our place. It was a great place to sleep off our jet lag.

The flat was simple and clean and decently stocked. It was an absolutely perfect location for what we wanted to visit in the old Reykjavik city center. We parked our car and walked everywhere!

Good, though fairly small flat. Tough stairs to front door.
We enjoyed the location of this flat - central Reykjavík (everything 2-10 min away). The owner was very helpful throughout. The unit is fairly small (maybe similar to many Reykjavík flats, though we stayed later in one much larger). Nicely furnished. My one concern is the stairwell to get to the front door - the stairs are narrow, often slick, and there is no handrail.

5.0
Lovely property located just outside of the city center. Short walk to the famous Hallgrimskirkja church and then main thoroughfares. Many great places to eat or just have coffee/snacks.
Convenient food store is located nearby as well. Braud & Co. has terrific fresh pastries/breads. Don’t miss the Old Settlement area for quaint shops and food as well.
Of course the Reykjavík guide books will point out all the attractions; but, consider one of the Hop On- Hop Off busses to allow for a nice overview of the city and then pick your favorite spots to revisit.
Overall rating is a 5; but the location did have a fair amount of traffic noise which could be heard even w/ the windows closed. We’d still come again though 😄

This flat was in a perfect location to get in and out of the city easily. It was within walking distance to so many things as well. The property owner was so easy to get ahold of when we had questions. I would definitely rent from him again.

Great location. Walked to restaurants, tour buses, shops. No need for car. The flat was very clean, modern and had everything we needed. Owner was very accommodating and responsive. We will definitely return to stay here when we come back. Hotels in the area were very expensive. Reykjavik offered much more space and much greater value.

Small but well appointed apartment exceptionally convenient. Ulli was very responsive and helpful. I was concerned that it’s a basement but it was bright. Having a free washing machine was wonderful.

Basic accommodation
Property was clean & well located. Extras are sparse to say the least. There was coffee & some basic kitchen essentials (ie Olive oil, salt & pepper), dishes. No napkins (cloth or paper or paper towels).
Water in the kitchen sink comes out HOT! & the temp is difficult to adjust so I couldn't finish washing the dishes without burning my hands 😬�. Shampoo & conditioner was provided, as well as free Netflix, which was nice.
Apt was also very warm, even after opening the bathroom window & turning all the heat off. While awake in the am, I ended up opening the door to get some cooler air in .
Pull out bed in living room not very comfortable with just the sheet over all the fold out crevasses. When I put the down comforter over it, it was much better (softer) however, then all you have to cover yourself with is the sheet, which was fine for me because I was so warm (I run warm, esp at night).
I was traveling with my aunt, who's a senior. She would have appreciated a hand railing for the stairs to get in & out of the apt.
Overall, it suited our needs fine. We were only there for 2 nights, & I had brought a paper towel with me I was happy to have 🙂�
