Perfect location and fully equipped with little extras that made it very cosy.

Stairs to room narrow and difficult for suitcase.

"Love the House of the Snowbird. Perfect location"

10.0

Love the location and quaintness and the parking spot. It’s so cool to be in an old Icelandic house.

Can hear the street noise at night. Being ear plus and it’s not a problem. The water is sulphury. Just a heads up.

"Cool house in a great location, couldn't have been a better stay"

10.0

Really cool old house with cool decorations. The location is fantastic with all the amenities of Reykjavik close by. Alas our host was very communicative. Nice to have a parking spot in the center of town

All good!

"Ein Zuhause in der Ferne"

9.0

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung, wo wir uns sofort zuhause gefühlt haben. Liebevolle Einrichtung mit kunstvollen Details. Bad/WC alles sauber (Achtung: es ist normal, dass das warme Wasser nach Schwefel riecht ;), sehr bequeme Betten, voll ausgestattete Küche. Bäcker, Restaurants, Zentrum alles fußläufig erreichbar. Vermieterin ist in der Galerie im Soutterain immer erreichbar.

In der Küche könnte ein wenig mehr Geschirr sein, z.B. eine Schüssel. Zum Aufbewahren der Kleidungsstücke fehlte uns eine Kommode oder Wäscheschrank - Platz dafür gibt es.

10.0

Schönes altes Holzhaus. Von der Künstlerin wunderbar gestaltet. Die Ausstattung mit Geschirr und mi kaffe, Milch, Müsli etc. war perfekt

Das Appartement Im First floor ist sehr hellhörig. Man hört jeden Schritt der Gäste im Appartement drüber. Wenn die Gäste rücksichtsvoll sind ist es okay
