Gudrun´s Studio Apartment (2pers.)

SuviRating, 5 stars71 months ago
The room was clean and cosy and there was everything we needed during our visit. Guðrún was helpful and hospitable. Location was good to visit in Reykjavik city center by car or drive out of Reykjavik to explore other places. I would definitely recommend this room.

Entire Luxury rental unit in Reykjavík, Iceland

CelinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is definitely among the best Airbnb's I've stayed in, so much so I would rent this apartment myself if I lived in Reykjavík. It's absolutely beautiful, has everything you need, and the location cannot be beat (within <5 minutes of everything in Centre, super close walk to nearly everything else). Stefan gave great recommendations and went to the extra effort of dropping off extra soap / laundry detergent when he realized the Airbnb would be running low during my stay. Highly recommend!

The place was worth every penny, the owner was very friendly and always gave his best to organise everything as smooth as possible. I will definitely come back to this apartment whenever I come to Iceland.

Leifur’s place was great! It was clean, cozy and located in a great spot in town. He was fantastic with communication and always responded quickly when I had a question. My flight arrive pretty early in the morning and he was really flexible with my check in time, too! Thanks Leifur!

Studio apartment in the heart of Reykjavík

JaniRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Iceland itself is amazing so why not sleep and rest somewhere just as lovely! I would absolutely stay here again. It’s a music lover’s dream too with the guitars and record player. Everything was so quiet and the balcony is a nice touch. I felt right at home.

Cozy loft apartment in the center

John (Bart)Rating, 5 stars5 months ago
We stayed at Agnieszka's over the Christmas and New Year holidays. It is an absolutely amazing spot. Super close to the Rainbow road, the Hallgrimskirja church (which is the absolute best place to see the fireworks on New Year's eve, and you can see it from the kitchen window), the Harpa Concert Hall, public transit (bus stop #3 for tour pick ups), and down town. The great location means you can walk to just about everything. The apartment was super cozy, clean, and peaceful. The plants give it a very welcoming feeling, especially true during the winter time. Agnieszka was super friendly and very accommodating. We arrived earlier than check in, but she let us drop off our bags so we didn't have to lug them around with us waiting to check in. It was hard to leave such a sweet spot at the end of our trip.
