"Perfect place for us to stay in Reykjavík."

10.0

Loved this place! The location, the charm, the hot water, warm hospitality, creativity, views and natural light, the free parking. The apartment was extremely comfortable.

As has been said, the central location comes with a bit of noise. Mostly on weekend nights.

"Beautiful historic home in the heart of the city!"

9.0

Beautiful, historic home nestled right in middle of the city above a gallery. Cafes, shops, and restaurants all right outside the apartment and walking distance to all of the sites. The apartment had everything we needed, including nice extras like bath robes, extra pillows, and toiletries. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive. Would absolutely stay here when visiting again!

Some noises do carry from the upper apartment and from the street, but that is expected in a historic home and given its prime location. It should not deter from booking as I would still stay here again!

"Great stay"

9.0

Fantastic host, location, and comes with parking. Elsa is fantastic and very thoughtful.

Only thing was some late night pubs nearby running club music until 2am or longer at night. Bring ear plugs if that bothers you.

"Clean, comfortable, and perfectly located"

10.0

Unique and lovely apartment. The location was fantastic.

Noise from the upstairs occupants was somewhat bothersome, but I understand that comes with the age of the building.

"Highly recommend a stay in this historical home"

10.0

Elsa went above and beyond, she left flowers and Easter eggs for us as it was Easter weekend, she let me amend my booking outside of the minimum nights, she was incredibly responsive and helpful. The extra bits and pieces in the bathroom and the kitchen were an added bonus! Such a beautiful stay.

Nothing! Loved every second.

"Very enjoyable oasis in the middle of town"

10.0

Great location, very well done space with some wonderful character. Very easy check in and check out process.

The curtains don’t do a great job with light control, but it was a minor concern.

"Number one pick for Reykjavik stays"

10.0

Well appointed comfortable home in an exceptional location with parking! Elsa was a phenomenal host and we had a really wonderful time.

As others have mentioned it is an old building and you can hear noises from the street and upstairs but it was what anyone should expect from staying in the hub of everything and didn't cause us any issues for sleeping.
