We chose this location for its proximity to sights in Reykjavik.
The apartment was clean & well appointed. The bedrooms are spacious. The rooms with a sofa? They fold out quickly into a double bed.
We were there in the summer, so 20+ hours of daylight followed by only twilight. YMMV, but we didn’t need sleep masks—the blackout curtains were fine. Some reviews mention noise from the bar on ground level. In our week, we could make out music from there only once, and it wasn’t enough to disturb sleep. NOTE: If you sleep with the windows open the main noise will be early in the morning as delivery trucks for the shops arrive. We usually kept the windows open until bedtime, then closed them, so outside noise wasn’t an issue.
The common area is open, bright & airy. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes & cooking utensils, pans, etc. There is a well stocked spice drawer too. The house guide has more information, but there’s a Kronan grocery almost immediately behind the building, and a Bonus market a few blocks up the street.
There is also a washer & dryer for use in a closet in the common area.
The rooftop balcony has a view of the harbor area, a great view of Rainbow Street, up to Hallgrímskirkja.
Most tours & Airport transfers have pick ups at Bus Stop 6, which is just a block away. We didn’t need a car for our week.
Someone comes by daily to empty the trash in the common area & restock needed supplies like paper towels or bathroom tissue.
Fully recommend!
