Beautiful guesthouse in the centre of Reykjavik, free parking and free wifi!
Just renovated and back on VRBO after a few years of absence. This contemporary house/villa is in a quiet residential area in the centre of Reykjavík built in 2002 and designed by its architect owner. The part being rented out is a detached, i.e. separate guest house. The villa is located within 70 meters from the seafront and only 15 minutes walk from the bustling center where you will find The National Theatre, the main museums, art galleries, cinemas, coffee houses, restaurants, bars and the main shopping streets. The bustling center (Miðbær) is a 3 min bus ride away from the house but the bus stop is within 2 min walking distance from the house. The guest house is 76 m2 and is ideal for a couple or a family of four. The location offers fantastic walking and cycling routes along the sea front. There are two bicycles at the Guesthouse, free of charge for the guests. Within 15 minutes walk away there is a geothermal heated beach as well as swimming pools. Free parking outside of the house as well as private patio.

It was convenient to the city but not in the city, which made it great for us. Very spacious and well appointed.

Our family of 3 enjoyed the brief stay. The guesthouse is not the largest, but plenty of space for a quick trip to Reykjavik. The beds were comfortable and there were no hassles when it was time to check out.

This guest house was tucked away in a great safe neighborhood. It was convenient to downtown Reykjavik and right on a gray walking/bike path. The hosts were so friendly and helpful! I will definitely return!

Great trip to Iceland began before we got there. The host was so nice to provide information for planning the trip. Check in was a breeze and the guest house was just perfect for me and my two teens. Clean and fully equipt kitchen for cooking light meals. Fabulous location near the sea for nice oceanside walks every morning.

What a wonderful guesthouse for our family of four. Right in the City near shoreline walking paths and a less than 5 minute drive to everything. The unit is beautifully designed and was comfortable for our two kids and parents alike. Highly recommend!

My wife and I loved this comfortable and private guesthouse. Located near a coastal walking path and a short drive to the center of Reyjavik, it was a great base for exploring nearby parts of Iceland. The guesthouse had everything we needed and we would be delighted to stay there again. Highly recommended!

We highly recommend this apartment. It’s in a great neighborhood near the ocean and only a mile from downtown Reykjavik. Perfect unit for up to 4 people. Easy parking is a big plus.

Easy drive into downtown.
Washer/dryer very convient.
Could BBQ, but we didn't.
About a 30 min walk into town if you don't want to drive.

My family had an excellent experience staying in the guest house. The overall look and functionality made our experience extremely comfortable. The hosts were available and very friendly. We had an amazing time celebrating New Year’s Eve mostly due to the very charming neighborhood we were fortunate to be a part of for a few days.

The guesthouse was warm and cozy and did not leave any wish open. The bed was a dream, we slept very well. Also the kitchen was very well equipped and we used it frequently to prepare meals. The landlord Gudrun- Eva is a nice lady who helped us to prepare our stay, she was always available when we had questions, she made us feel very welcomed. We also liked the quiet surrounding and the close proximity to the sea, and are already looking for the next occasion to come back!

The property was very clean and in a nice neighborhood. We spent 2 nights & everything we needed was there. There are several grocery store in close proximity. This was perfect for getting stuff for breakfasts & snacks. The bus station is right around the corner if you want to go into town for dinner and drinks. The owner was very helpful in providing info on the buses. It was a great first visit to reykjavik & iceland. We'll need to plan another visit to see more.

We had the trip of a lifetime to Iceland and loved the guesthouse! The owner was wonderful and the property had everything we needed. We brought our two daughters (ages 7 & 9) and had more than enough space. The bed in the living room was very comfortable (not like a normal pull-out bed) and the master bedroom was large. The short walk to the ocean was great with a wonderful walking/running/biking path. We went down almost every day after touring the city/country and really enjoyed that. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Gudrin!

The guesthouse is even more beautiful than the picture! The owner is responsive and provided great recommendations for a thermal swimming pool (w/ nice slide for kids) and dinner. The house has a basic kitchen, fridge, and washer/dryer which was helpful. It was a 10 minute drive to central Reykjavik and groceries, convenient for the golden circle, and near the domestic airport and flybus station to KEF. The house is a tight space for 4 but roomier than most European houses and hotels we stayed in. Nice touch of a lit candle on our arrival, which was late in the evening after the blue lagoon. A great stay!
