Lovely warm inviting house

We had a wonderful experience in Iceland. The host was very friendly and welcoming with an encore of opera singing. If you love your childhood memories ( I am in my fifties) this is the house for you. The house was equipped with all the necessities for a vacation. Hand soap, laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent was supplied. Linen and towels as well. If I ever go back to Iceland I would happily stay there again.

We absolutely loved staying there! It's a well-loved home, in great condition, in a quiet neighborhood, full of amenities, and close to Reykjavik, on the bus line.

A clean, comfortable, and cozy family home. Though buses or taxis are required to get to downtown and local supermarkets, the proximity to a complex with a large public swimming pool, small zoo, botanical gardens, and one amazing trampoline makes it an ideal location for families with children who need a break from sightseeing. Our host was flexible and helpful and we enjoyed our stay!

Cozy, comfortable, private clean

It is a nice house. It is a unit in a duplex. We never heard a peep from the unit next door. Quiet. Comfortable. Clean. Driveway parking. We would stay here again.

I would not only recommend the property as a cozy residential place to stay, but for the superb communication with the owners. The process was personal and all instructions were provided. I couldn’t of been more satisfied.

Great stay!

Almost everything was fantastic. Just a few suggestions...Purchase a refrigerator with a working ice machine and filtered water to drink. The tap water had a sulfur taste to it. Separating the trash seemed to be a big issue. I suggest you label the trash bins to avoid confusion. One last thing...put a "notice" on the surge protector that ii MUST be on for the internet to work. It was accidentally tripped when plugging in an adapter and it was not discovered for awhile.

Amazing location only 1.9 miles from downtown

The house is a 1980's period furnished house with a fantastic location. Every in the house, from the hand built stone fireplace to quaint kitchen, was authentic. The location provided us with an easy way to either walk into town, take scooters or drive. Our entire family enjoyed our stay.

Nice property, dated but worked

We stayed two nights at this near town location. Owner was welcoming and accommodative to our schedule. Property was well maintained, clean and charming if a bit dated. You need a car but driving into the city was quick. Over all no complaints. Cozy family home is accurate as are the pictures and descriptions.
