    The location was excellent and the host was very friendly and helpful. Use of laundry was a bonus and gave us a late check out.

    It was hot and the aircon didn’t seem to work

    Spacious and cozy apartment right in the center of reykjavik! AMAZING Location , Three minutes walk to the church & 15 minutes walk to BSI terminal. Washing machine and dryer are available for daily use.

    The bedroom windows can be cleaned on a periodical manner.

    Our apartment offered lots of space and could easily accommodate 4 people. It's located in downtown Reykjavik in walking distance to all major attractions, e..g. less than 5 minutes from Hallgrímskirkja. No need to use the car.

    The apartment was not well cleaned when we arrived. For example, most of the cutlery had been put into the drawer dirty. We understand that the approach is that everyone cleans before leaving, but this needs to be double checked.

    Comfortable bed, location, location, location. You really can't get a better location. Warm shower with good pressure.

    Apt 1 is right at road level. If you have someone sleeping on the pull out, it will be very loud from people walking by. The bedroom was nice and quiet though.

    The location is perfect for walking around Reykjavik's all sights! Anything you need in walking distance! Bakery , super market, parking. The apartment is spacious and well equipped (for two couples ).Everything was easy and perfect in our stay. Would stay there again. Recommended.

    I should comment that if staying in ground floor and want to sleep late, (not in our case) maybe not the best choice, as it is in the level of the street.

    This property is in a very good location, Walking distance to some attractions, groceries and restaurants.

    We were assigned in the ground floor and noise from footsteps at the second floor was quite annoying specially.

    Great location, 30sec walking distance from bakery

    Apartment was very dirty. The floors were not cleaned, shower had a terrible smell and was full of dirt, the dishes and cutlery was not washed properly.

    Hi, thanks for staying with us, but please give me better grading because most of my guests are grading me from 8 to 10. About the smell of the water, I just googled it and here is the answer: “The hot water in Iceland often has a distinct smell due to naturally occurring sulfur from geothermal sources, which is used to heat the water. This smell is generally described as similar to rotten eggs and is harmless, though it's not typically recommended for drinking. The cold water, however, is safe to drink and doesn't have the same odor, as it comes from pristine springs. “ Regards, Garðar at Mengi Apartments

    Very convenient location, very well stocked and tastefully appointed apartment

    It was a first floor/basement and people are looking in so you have to lower blinds all the time. Some privacy curtains that let light in would be great. I am sure upper floors would be fine.

    We enjoyed it, excellent communication with the host, and convenient location and host offered temporary storage of our bags for a couple hours after we checked out before our taxi and flight home. We used the time for a lunch and shopping.

    The address 14a was a little confusing. Out taxi driver pointed us at building 14 and said it would be there somewhere. In fact, 14a is a different building with metal siding which is well documented by the host in his instruction. We were just confused for a couple minutes.

    Location is great.

    Noisy neighbours, street noise, not clean (hair everywhere) in the bathroom & in the kitchen drawers. Bed ok, pillows ok. Nasty sheet for the hideabed.

    Hi, I’m very disappointed with your ratings, most of my guests are rating me from 8 up to 10. Maybe you are confusing me with another guesthouse in Iceland ?? Please correct your ratings. Best regards, Garðar

    Big apartment with all the amenities you can request for being self-sufficient in Reykjavik. Lots of kitchenware.

    The sofabed was not that comfortable for sleeping.

    Great size for a family and absolutely great location. Despite the central location, apartment was surprisingly quiet - even though you could very easily hear your upstairs neighbors walking/moving furniture around.

    It could have a little more staples (sugar for example) in the stash.

    We had a great stay at this apartment. It's very convenient, right at the city centre. Everything within walking distance, including a Bonus supermarket 3-4 blocks away. The apartment is well maintained. We slept 4. Two adults in bed and two kids in the sofa-bed. Sufficient, but tight. It's a basement apartment with windows to the street (feet) level, so less privacy if blinds open, but not inconvenient for us as we were on the move anyway. The host was very responsive and flexible. We were offered to check-in 2h before the standard check-in time, which we really appreciated. Check-in and check-out was very easy (key box). Street parking was easy to find in the streets around, but it can be expensive if choosing P1 zone. Cheaper P2 zones are close by too, but it's not straightforward to navigate for newcomers. We would definitely come back.

    The apartment has all the basic facilities, which is its only advantage.

    I was informed in advance that the sofa bed would not be made, but the real issue was that the bed was dirty. There were small particles like sand or crumbs, and the blanket even had burn holes. On top of that, we had to put on the bed sheets, duvet cover, and pillowcases ourselves. I booked a room for four people, so why was only half of it prepared? Additionally, the apartment was quite dusty. We also had to take out our own trash, which was a first for me. My travel companions found it very confusing. The information provided was not clear enough—the instructions were framed in a picture, which made them easy to overlook. The WiFi details were on the back of the router, and since I was unfamiliar with that model, I couldn’t find the login details. If information is important, it should be clearly listed together.

    Hi, thanks for staying with us, but I am very disappointed with your ratings because my guests are normally rating me between 8 up to 10. My average rating is over 9… Hope you change your mind. Regards, Garðar
