clean cosy apartment in downtown
It was a very pleasant experience, the room was located in a very convenient place, you can find supermarket, nice restaurants all in walking distance. The house was clean and cozy, Selma was so nice and always replied in a very short period of time~ will come back again if it is possible~ 5-star recommend!

Nice, bright and quiet studio, close to downtown.
A very pleasant, bright flat in a quiet street. Just perfect! Everything was available, well furnished. Helga was always available and responsive. I would recommend this place!

Studio apartment in Reykjavik
We've stayed here twice now and again it's absolutely amazing, the scenery, the apartment, the host all amazing and nothing to complain about. one of the best places I've ever stayed at.

Ocean view apartment near city centre!
Me, my wife and our son stayed at Ingiberg’s place for 6 nights on our trip to Iceland. The apartment was very easy to find and we were able to park the car in the allocated bay (inside the garage). It is slightly outside of the main town but providing you don’t mind a walk (35 minutes) like us then it is not a problem at all. The apartment was nicely furnished and had everything we needed. Tv and sound system were great for the evenings. Ingiberg was very responsive on messages and even alerted us when the northern lights were on show. Would definitly recommend staying at the apartment to anyone visiting Iceland.

Apartment by the sea - with breath taking views.
New, well stocked accommodations with a gorgeous view. Underground parking was a huge plus. Some construction in the area and not much around. But the stay was absolutely perfect.

Opin og björt íbúð í kyrrlátri útivistarperlu.
My family and I (5 adults) had a great stay there. Hjalmar and his wife greeted us when we arrived at the house. He was very responsive and flexible with our check-in. The place was clean and comfortable. It had everything. We would stay there again. Highly recommend!

Central loft with amazing views
Stella’s apartment is a great place to stay. It is spacious and very comfortable. Comfy beds and sofas and well equipped kitchen. Super location near the water front and close by all central attractions and shops. Stella was very helpful throughout. Highly recommend

Family flat
Wir haben es bei Edyta sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist gemütlich und schön eingerichtet und hat alles was man für seinen Aufenthalt braucht. Außerdem war Edyta super zuvorkommend und hat uns aufgrund unseres späten Abfluges sogar noch ermöglicht später aus der Unterkunft auszuchecken!

Motorhome Iceland, Rv Iceland camper in Iceland
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en Islande grâce au camping car. Ce n'était pas celui de l'annonce car il était en réparation. Celui qu'on a eu nous correspondait plus par le nombre de lit. David est un hôte chaleureux et disponible. Je reviendrai vers lui sans hésiter pour un nouveau séjour

Spacious house in Reykjavik near the seaside
Bryndis and her family were wonderful hosts the place was close to some restaurants and the water. It is located in a peaceful section of Reykjavik and a great home base for activities around the capital. It is clean, spacious and the hosts were very responsive.

House by the nature reserve
Wonderful location, just away from the "bustle" of Reykjavík, but only about 5-10 minutes drive away (and Reykjavík has plenty of parking). There's a bus not too far if you don't want to worry about drivint too! The nature reserve in the backyard is amazing, allowing pleasant walks along the paths, lake, and to the lighthouse. All the rooms are nice sized and made for an excellent place to come home to for relaxation, or cooking a meal if that's your thing (although the food in Reykjavík was fantastic).

Seaview with Reykjavík City around the corner.
A fantastic homely place to stay with our family including teenage grandchildren. Great local supermarket and bus service which meant we didn't need a car. Superb views including across the bay to see the erupting volcano! The BBQ and the hot tub were fabulous as was the weather. Outdoor living was just as good as indoors. Everything we needed in the kitchen was available including a well stocked fridge on our arrival. Plenty bedding and towels to facilitate changing everything during our stay.

Beach House in Hvalfjordur
Svana's beach house was outstanding. Located on a picturesque whale fjord, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. So much nature to explore, including the nearby Golden Circle (Gullfoss Falls and Geysers) and the Hvammsvik Hot Springs (only three minutes away). We even lingered out on the porch at midnight listening to the bird calls.

A quiet, charming house by Reykjavik harbor
Logement dans l'hypercentre de Reykjavik d'une rare qualité avec toutes les accommodations nécessaires. La cuisine et la salle à manger sont décorées avec goût, la literie était très confortable. En un mot : parfait !

Ocean Front Designer Townhouse
The ocean view from this home was absolutely stunning. The location was great, with easy access to nearby restaurants and shops. The host was incredibly helpful. I had a wonderful stay!

Ocean Property on the South Coast
We stayed wishing to catch the Northern Lights and we were lucky enough to do so each night and be there for a huge solar storm. We ventured out the first night and after that realized we were able to stay comfy at our airbnb and see them both in the front yard and backyard. The house was spacious and our children 7 & 1 loved the books and toys available. We were offered a portable crib and high chair which were convenient. There were plenty of novels for adults and a variety of books on Iceland. There is a washer and large drying rack, dishwasher, and full kitchen which was wonderful since it is a serene spot you can relax and not run down the road 15 minutes for food or coffee. I enjoyed walking the road to the church and admiring the horses next door. The location is remote and going to parks or the city required an hour drive. Our host was gracious and extended our check out which was helpful. Thank you for your hospitality.

Cozy Seaside Apartment with Stunning Bay Views
Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit Blick direkt auf die Bucht. Die Wohnung hat alles, was man für einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt benötigt, man kann es auch für länger aushalten. Da wir ein Auto hatten, kamen wir auch schnell überall hin, die öffentliche Erreichbarkeit können wir nicht beurteilen. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen.

Ocean View Condo near Sky Lagoon
The apartment was very spacious, clean, comfortable with a lovely view of the little harbor nearby. It provided my son and I with a base to explore many of Iceland's attractions using our car rental. Getting into the city takes about 12 minutes by car and around 45 minute by bus. We opted to cook at home since there's not a lot of restaurants nearby. Generally speaking this was a fantastic place to stay and made our whole week in Iceland stress free and relaxing. The apartment also has great water pressure and lots of warm water!

Reykjavik apartment by the sea
I loved my stay here! This is my second time in Reykjavík and I would definitely come back to this apartment. It was in a good location, clean, quiet, and had a washer dryer, which was a huge plus. Not to mention there’s also free parking, which is an amazing amenity considering that the city is so expensive and it’s rare to find. The host was responsive for any questions I had and was always courteous. 5 stars!

Downtown Harbor Apartment
The Harbor Apartment was perfect to visit Reykjavik. It’s clean, comfortably furnished, nicely decorated, and wonderfully warm and inviting on a cold January visit to Iceland. The location was unbeatable, just across the street from the scenic old harbor and near plenty of excellent restaurants and steps from a small market for your daily needs. The host provided voluminous tips on getting around and responded quickly with a work-around when we discovered that the Internet network listed in the check-in instructions was down. We would definitely stay here again. Just one small caveat for light sleepers—the bedroom window is located next to the ground floor elevator and you can occasionally hear the voices of people coming and going, or stomping the snow off their shoes before they get in the elevator.

Bright Apartment With Ocean View & Near Downtown
The host was really communicative and accommodating. Her home is clean and has everything. We enjoy our stay and would recommend!

Reykjavik west town by the sea
Snorri and Svava’s Airbnb was so cozy, clean, and in a great location near the city and next to the water. They were so responsive and friendly! I would stay again!

Lovely 1 bedroom condo next to Sky Lagoon
We had a great stay at Unnur's apartment. It was a perfect base for our adventures around Reykjavik. The location was very close to downtown (10min drive), walking distance to the Sky Lagoon (highly recommended) and having free parking was a lovely amenity. The apartment itself was lovely - bright, clean and well appointed - and the host, Unnur was excellent - very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a nice quiet location just outside of the city centre.

Luxury Apartment by the Harbor in Reykjavík
This listing was AMAZING! My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon in Iceland and it was perfect. The location is beautiful, and right across from the Edition (if you were thinking of booking there… book here instead - way better deal!). We didn’t cook here much, but did utilize the air frier which was a nice touch! We enjoyed the cleanliness and modern feel of the apartment. We also felt very safe at this location. The WiFi was great. The hosts were incredibly helpful and supportive with clear and quick communication whenever we messaged. The walking score is 10/10 as we caught all our tours from nearby bus stops 5 & 6. We walked to all our restaurants from here and enjoyed the food hall which is right below the apartment as well. If you haven’t booked here yet… what are you waiting for!?
