    There wasn't anything I did not like about this property.

    The apt is centrally location, clean, spacious and had all necessary items. It faces the interior courtyard so it was very quiet as well. The hosts were quick to answer any questions.

    My only complaint would be the cushions on outdoor patio were moldy and wet due to being left outside. I removed them and so enjoyed sitting out on the beautiful little patio. The outdoor sitting area was probably the main reason I chose this rental. I love sitting out in morning having coffee or evening having a cocktail. Get new cushions and keep them indoors when not in use. Bed was great, so was kitchen. No issues accessing space.

    Location was perfect for walking to everything in city center, down to the waterfront, hallsgrimkirkja, etc

    Recommended apartment in the center of town

    The apartment is on the ground floor and opens out to the shared courtyard. The doorknob/lock on the patio door needs repair, so that was a bit concerning.

    The apartment is in a very convenient location in the center of Reykjavik. It is large apartment. The kitchen is very well equipped with every utensil we needed and more. The owner - Jon - responds quickly to questions via WhatsApp. I appreciated that Jon stocked the apartment with a large bag of coffee pods. Not many apartment owners do that. The apartment is within close walking distance from grocery stores and bakery. We were able to walk from the apartment to the port for a puffin tour. The Perlan Museum is a bit farther, but we were able to walk to and from with no problem.

    Honestly there were no issues, only thing was learning how to open the front door and the gate, which turn to different direction than we were used to. I was really surprised of how good the place was considering the price, location, and short notice we were reserving it (a bit more than a week prior).

    The place had been prepared to look inviting, instructions were clear, and contacting the host was easy and they responded quickly to questions. Place had all the amenities mentioned and then some.

    Remember your eyemask if travelling in summer, as blind only partially effective, and bedroom remains light while sun is up.

    Well positioned and furnished apartment, central and close to shops and restaurants, but quiet and secure. Spacious one bedroom apartment, comfy bed and large living room and kitchen, with great bathroom and washer/dryer. Great communication with host, and was easy to access. Would definitely stay again.

    Couldn't find the thermostat to regulate the temps so cracked the window a bit to cool the place down. I'd suggest having a fan available. Another bedside end table is needed on the left side of the bed. My partner used one of the table chairs to compensate.

    Quick communication and assistance from owner John. (I misread the location of the lockbox to be inside the entrance foyer even though John's instructions clearly said it was on the "patio". All good after that.) Kitchen of my dreams! Streamlined, clean, stocked with coffee pods, tea bags, ramen soups, and all the essentials, it was absolutely perfect! The BEST showerhead in the world! The quietest of courtyards! It always felt safe and inviting. Free overnight parking was found a few blocks up the road behind the Hallgrimskirkja church. It gets super crowded between 8a-8p but during the evening we found plenty of spots.

    My flight leaving was late in the day so I requested a late checkout. Unfortunately, the owner could not accommodate me because they had new guest coming in. One thing I did not consider, was that I had no place to store my luggage while waiting for an appropriate time to go to the airport. We ended up going to the airport very early. I am now warned for the future and will use this to help decide between a hotel or vacation rental.

    Going with a vacation rental instead of a hotel is a bit of a gamble because you can't be sure about the quality of the lodging. In this case is was outstanding. Spacious, centrally located, but quiet. The apartment is well appointed.
