Clean, spacious apartment in the heart of Reyk
The apartment was fantastic in terms of cleanliness, location and communication with the property manager, Jon. We would absolutely love to stay here again if/when we return to Iceland!!

Best Place to Stay
We absolutely loved Jon’s penthouse apartment! It was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed, and Jon was a great host. The location was the best. We enjoyed having easy access to all the shops and restaurants, plus it was centrally located for exploring Reykjavik. We rented the parking spot from Jon, which made parking super easy. We are already talking about our next trip to Iceland and we would love to stay here again!

GREAT listing!
Jon’s apartment was exactly what we had been looking for during our stay in Iceland. It was very clean, fully stocked with all of the amenities plus some extras like a mobile hot spot. The designated parking space was a bonus as parking wasn’t always easy in the area. It was a great location, walking distance to all of the good cafes and restaurants. Jon was very prompt in his responses always going above and beyond and even offering recommendations. If we come back to Iceland, we will be sure to rent from him again!

PERFECT Rental!
This was my best VRBO experience ever. The apartment is lovely, comfortable, and immaculate, with everything you could possibly need. It is right smack in the middle of Reykjavik's main downtown street, modern in both decor and amenities, and, for the record, the only one we found in Reykjavik with a tub (as opposed to shower only). And it isn't just an ordinary bathtub: it's enormous! The hot water is endless. Jon, the host, provides extras that go above and beyond: he left a mobile wifi hotspot for us to use, which saved us from paying for international cellular and worked much faster than cellular would have. There are even rain ponchos in the closet. Jon is an outstanding host. He checked on us regularly, responded within minutes to any messages we sent, and was beyond gracious and helpful. There is a dedicated parking spot in the building's garage that we rented for $20/night, which was well worth it. I don't have one negative thing to say (and trust me, I can be a bit of a picky princess). I have rented many VRBOs - easily over 20 - and I have never been 100% satisfied as I was with Jon's place. Trust me: you want to rent this place.

brilliant location - could not be better
Great flat and Jon was fantastic with comms beforehand. The location was absolutely first class in the heart of city - exactly where you need to be. Apartment was also great, all you could need, with shops and bars very close by indeed. Could not recommend this apartment any more - give it a try!

Amazing location, spacious apartment and great host
Right in the centre of Reykjavik within walking distance of so many sights, shops and activities that you have to choose which ones out of the array to go for. Host helpful and welcoming. Good instructions about how to get there and a wide selection of books and leaflets in the apartment to help you decide where to go. Lots of opportunities to join organised tours within walking distance; we combined organised trips with own choice days out and used the excellent parking garage under the apartments for the hire car. Very much recommend.

Great penthouse apartment in Reykjavik
Jon was quick to reply to all my messages, the place couldn't have been in a better location, and everything we needed to prepare meals for the week was there. The place was very clean, views were amzing, and the bed was very comfortable. When we return we'll be staying here again for sure!
