Perfect base for an Iceland adventure
We stayed here for a week and we loved having such a cozy apartment to come back to after a day walking around Reykjavik or out driving and hiking the amazing scenery of Iceland.
The apartment was perfect for a family of 3 to relax in, and so much better than staying in hotel rooms. It came with everything we could have needed to cook with so that we could be self-sufficient and not have to eat every meal out.
The decor is modern and stylish with some lovely artwork.
The location is just outside downtown Reykjavik in a new residential area which meant that it was quiet and street parking was easy (and free). Yet, it was close enough to the sights, shopping and entertainment via a 20 min walk, a 10 min scooter (download the Hopp app) or a 5 min drive.
To save money we did our main shopping at a Bonus supermarket near the airport on our arrival, but we also appreciated having the local supermarket being very close by to provide little extras. There were already some essentials in the apartment when we arrived such as coffee, sugar, spices, detergents and soaps. So you shouldn't need to pick these up in advance. The other advice I would give if staying in the summer, is to bring a sleep mask. The blackout shades in the apartment work, but if you are a sensitive sleeper like me then the light that sneaks through at the sides is just enough to spoil a good night's sleep. Thanks to Inga for being a great host and being so responsive when we had questions.
