    I have no complaints. This place rocks.

    Located just close enough to Reykjavík, with a stunning view of the city and the presidential house.

    The surrounding area was mostly commercial or industrial. There was a short walk to a water area however it was through private property, which was not comfortable for us.

    The room itself was nice, and breakfast was delicious.

    Very minor point : no mirror in the bathroom above the sink.

    Very nice studio. Quiet, peaceful view with many birds, surprising to find such a beautiful place conveniently located, not very far from Reykjavik (if you have a car).

    Location was great, with a view across the water to Reykjavík. Property was perfect for our needs and had all the amenities we needed. We managed to see northern lights directly outside the room which was special!

    The only thing that bothered us were the guests in the nearby apartment as the TV was very loud, except for that everything was great.

    I stayed here my with my partner over her birthday. It was surprise for her and we stayed a few days in this location. We loved this guest house so much, it was quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature and not too far away from Reykjavik by car. On our first night we could see the northern lights and had an amazing view on Reykjavik at night. The house was super cozy and warm, we felt right at home every time when we came from a day full of sightseeing in the cold. We would definitely come again!

    It might not be everyone's cup of tea so I point it out ; one side of the wall in the bathroom is glass so you can see through, there is a blind if you want some privacy but it doesn't fully reach to the bottom 👀

    It was probably the nicest apartman I've seen on holidays so far! We rented a car, for us it was in a lovely location , close to the centre but away from the noise with a nice view, also comes with free parking. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to whip some breakfast together before heading out. The host made us feel welcome and she was available if we had any questions :) the apartment is clean, bright, warm and nicely decorated. Good value for it's price. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

    Can’t fault this place if I’m being honest, it was perfect!

    The location was perfect, about 15 mins from Reykjavík but other shops were much closer. The apartment was absolutely stunning and had a wonderful view. Very quiet and all the amenities you need such as a kitchenette with all utensils, washing machine, smart tv for Netflix etc. loved it!

    I expected the ambiance outside will be dark like in a village, suitable for viewing northern lights, which was not so. However still could see northern lights well.

    Everything about the property. Even the host was very supportive and accommodating.

    The location is great! Close to the city, but away enough to enjoy the quiet of the night. The breakfast was great! Everyday there was a variation of foods and there was plenty for two. Above all we enjoyed everything and it was our first time experiencing geothermal heating. We were never cold.

    There is a beautiful view from the apartment, which is somewhat spoiled by the huge grill, which would be better moved to another place.

    The apartment has an excellent location near Reykjavík, but in a quiet place with free parking. Everything you need is here, there are even binoculars for bird watching. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is large enough.

    The only thing, which seems to be usual in Nordic countries, is that the bathroom is on the utilitarian side, with little room to move. That said, it is impeccably clean and functional.

    - The apartment is really fantastic - cosy, stylish and with a nice view. - Very responsive and reliable yet easy-going host. - Breakfast… yes, recommended.
