Brúarfoss

This was a small, simple apartment that has a basic kitchenette, which is essential for any Iceland vacation because of the cost of food there. The parking was a bit confusing, we thought we would have access to parking but we later learned that our unit didn't have an assigned spot after all. Accessing the unit was easy with the provided codes, no issues there. The unit had blackout curtains which really helps when days are long. The location was great. The unit was on the 4th floor, no elevator, so be prepared for stairs. This is out of the hosts' control, but the water in this building seemed to be more smelly than other places I have stayed in the country. The smell did not go away even after letting the cold water run for a while. I would recommend that you buy water before you arrive if you are sensitive to smells. I just have one suggestion for the hosts : please consider installing a shower door.

We enjoyed our stay at Alfred's. The apartment was in a great location. The bathroom, while very small, functioned well. The apartment was cheery and bright. It is right across the path from Reykjavik Chips, a burger and basics restaurant that had great shakes. Very handy for a quick bite. The manager was very pleasant. Highly recommend!

Great location, very walkable to many of the places we wanted to see right in Reykjavik. There is no parking available, it's all the paid city street parking using the official city parking app. But it's also just a couple blocks away from P2 and P3 parking zones which allow overnight parking. Cute little apartment with essentially a queen bed and a fold out sofa bed. The stove/oven/fridge/dishes/pots/pans were excellent. Includes a kettle and a nespresso coffee machine. No microwave. Free laundry in the laundry room. Really nice overall. Was a great spot from which to visit the city and the surrounding areas of Iceland.
