The owner left some lovely treats for us in the property which we highly appreciated. The bed was really comfortable and the parking right outside the door. You felt that the owner really wanted our stay in his/her property to be a great experience with lots of information about the area, local backers and shops.

Great place, very friendly and responsive staff. Small but very cozy apartment. From the entrance we felt like we are more then welcome- all the small details made it even more special. That’s great example how to treat guest right and professional

If you travel without car, think about transportation. Maybe there is some bus stop or take taxi. Not many sockets, e.g. for charging. Some stuff not new, requires refresh, but it is not a big problem.

Very cozy apartment. Host provided each detail to make staying much comfortable. It’s lovely. There are all needed facilities(amenities).Responsive host, we checked in one hour ahead.

Absolutely wonderful stay! The apartment was not only beautiful and spotless, but it also had everything I needed for a comfortable visit, from kitchen essentials to cozy touches that made it feel like home. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would absolutely book again without hesitation!

Highly recommended for anyone staying in Reykjavik! The hosts went out of their way to leave a welcome message in our native language! The accommodation has absolutely everything and more than you need for a comfortable stay! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The apartment is a basement floor, so the ceiling is pretty low. This is only a problem for very tall people. While this was not a problem for me, the shower water has a bit of a sulfur smell. This is pretty standard for icelandic homes.

The apartment is only a 10min drive from the city center. There are multiple supermarkets within a 5min drive. The host wrote a welcome letter (even translated it to my native language) with some suggestions for activities. It was also accompanied with some cake from the local bakery. The apartment has everything you need for a longer holiday. Kitchen, laundry machine and all the standard stuff. Parking is easy in front of the door.

Lara Studio was an absolutely charming place — totally my style. The room was beautifully decorated, and the bedding was so comfortable I honestly wished I could pack it in my suitcase and take it home! We were welcomed with a cake from the best bakery in Reykjavík, and there was even a note written in Polish, prepared especially for us. The owner recommended what to see and what to avoid, and also explained a few things that might be surprising for visitors — like the smell of the water, which Icelanders don’t even notice, but for us at first smelled like rotten eggs. She also shared the names of stores where we could buy groceries at reasonable prices, and recommended her favorite restaurant. I was truly impressed. And waking up to that stunning blue sky — I couldn’t have asked for anything more. If I ever go back to Iceland, I’ll definitely stay at Lara Studio again. It was absolutely wonderful, and the owner was incredibly sweet.

It's not a fancy apartment - but it is comfortable,, and lots of extra effort is made. Welcome letter - a cake with free drinks in the refrigerator and other small things that make you feel welcome.

Everything was perfect for us. Clean and well equipped apartment. We really enjoyed the little personal touches of the adorable hostess. You pay a little money to get not just an apartment but a home away from home. Perfect choice for us.

Would have been great to have a microwave and the larger hot plate took forever to heat up.

Location was great, quiet suburbs. Good kitchen facilities and washing machine. Welcome note and goodies

Felt very homely and welcoming- loved all the extra touches like the welcome

At first, I chose a house with a washing machine because I was on a long trip and needed to do laundry. But I was pleasantly surprised to stay in such a wonderful house. The welcome cookies and a welcome letter written in Korean touched my heart. I also appreciated the thoughtful details throughout the house for the guests. It was great to stay warm and comfortable in cold Iceland. If I visit Iceland again, I would love to stay here again.

Kind and supreme hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble thanks to the advance contact and detailed directions. We stayed elsewhere during our stay in Iceland, but we should have stayed here forever. Would love to come back.

It wasn't clear whether we had access to wifi (free or otherwise?) at the premises - (we didn't ask) but perhaps if that were offered (or dealt with in the arrival pack) that would have been the cherry on the cake!

Amenities were fantastic - the host was friendly and greeted us as we arrived - she had thought of everything and we loved the Christmas bauble gift and slice of chocolate cake on arrival! The apartment was in a good location for getting to Perlan for New Year's eve and was close to a good bakery and it seemed like a lovely quiet and safe neighbourhood. Parking was easy, plenty of towels, the apartment was warm and we liked the thoughtful additions like bath robes, slippers, vanity kits, combs, "beard shampoo", molton brown handwash, shampoo and conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste and a selection of drinks in the fridge and food/condiments in case we wanted to cook etc and we had a lovely hot shower and comfy bed.

The bed and shower is little small than expected, but very acceptable. Overall, great great stay

Great host, very thoughtful and heartwarming welcome letter and gifts, welcome desserts and drink is great too. The host is Always helpful if need anything. The room Has everything you might need and might come handy, even tampons. Had my Best stay in Iceland in one week.

Would of been nice to have a plug converter for American plug and place to charge phone/USB port. My only issue.

The apartment was well stocked and comfortable. We only stayed one night as a last minute necessity but having stayed that one night we would book this place for our full stay next time. We stayed in the center which was more convenient but after all is said and done this place was a much better deal in a quiet area away from all the other tourists. Highly recommended for a solo person or couple traveling. 10/10.

Best accommodation among all i stayed in Iceland..!

The apartment is so cozy and clean, and the team from Lara Studio were very accessible and helpful. It is the perfect place to stay if you plan to be in the city for a few days, the kitchen is well equipped, there is plenty of space for storage and the washing machine is really handy and as the city is relatively small its only a 10/15 min drive to city center. We spend seven days in a road trip in Iceland, we’ve been to five different hotels and guest houses, and Lara is by far the best one we stayed.
