"Lovely quirky apartment"

9.0

Great communication from hosts who also arranged an earlier check in. Excellent location near bars/restaurants but quiet in evening/night. Quirky apt, very comfortable and warm.

Would benefit from few more kitchen utensils, large spoons for salad bowl, pizza cutter, wooden spoons also some crockery was chipped, need replaced .....coffee cups/tea cups needed.

"Exceptional in every way."

10.0

Loved The House of the Snowbird! The perfect base for a fab few days exploring Reykjavík & the beautiful beyond. Everything is at your fingertips; museums, restaurants, cafes, shops, the harbour area & also close to a pick up stop for attractions out of the city. Charming, warm, clean & cosy with lots of thoughtful additions, I swear this gorgeous house hugged me back after returning from a full day of taking in all this fab city has to offer. Huge thanks to Elsa who went above and beyond ensuring all was well throughout my stay, she really made me feel a valued customer. The comprehensive information pack she provided was extremely helpful & even included an interesting history of the house. Not really one for souvenirs but was so captivated by this house I broke my own rules & bought a little mug from the downstairs pottery, just to remind me of my happy stay in Iceland & the beautiful House of the Snowbird ❤️

My only sad was I didn’t stay longer or meet Elsa.

You can hear the upstairs neighbor but that’s the way it is with such wooden floors

Very central with loads of restaurants within 5 mins, it had private parking and modern conveniences. Beautiful historic home furnished with lovely art and pottery, We had pleasure of meeting owner in the gallery down stairs.

Nothing, it exceeded our expectations.
