ABOUT THE PROPERTY

The Villa is a landmark building in Reykjavik and an essential part of the city’s history. It has been carefully restored over the last few years where the focus has been on replacing as little as possible, paying homage to its historical and cultural significance.

In 2019 the house received an award from the mayor of Reykjavik for outstanding renovations.

Other things to note

★ Please note that we are NOT interested in renting this property to loud drunken groups.
★ Guests can not smoke inside the house nor vape. If guests need to smoke they are asked to use the street entrance - not the garden.
★ As per Icelandic customs we take our shoes off. The floors are 140 years old wooden floors.
★ Guests are asked to keep in mind that any water spillage can damage the floor so please be mindful of that.
★ Please note that there are two smaller rental units in the basement.

No Parties/Events

Noise complaints will be taken seriously, and parties will result in a $2000 fine and immediate termination of the rental agreement. Respecting the neighbors is our top priority.

The house should be quiet between 11PM - 7AM. It is a quiet family neighborhood, but if you are in the mood for a party, you are only a two minute walk away from Reykjavík's finest nightlife.

Thank you for understanding.

    We were a group of 8 friends on vacation. This rental was perfect for our size group and a great home base to explore Reykjavík and surrounding areas. I don’t think the pictures give enough credit for how spacious the kitchen, dining and living room areas are. Thora was also an incredibly helpful and communicative host.

    You can't beat the location and the communication with the host was amazing. You'll love the place! One bedroom is only accessible through another bedroom, which is a bit strange, but other than that, the place is perfect. I would definitely recommend :)

    Our 2 families enjoyed staying at this home which was smack in the middle of town - easy walk to restaurants, shops, and museums. The owners were friendly and responsive. The historic home is modernized but there were some old home inconveniences such as a low ceiling on the narrow stairs and an attic toilet you had to bend down to get on, but as long as you can maneuver through that plus the lack of a microwave and the city noises, you'll enjoy your stay at this property. Comfy beds, large kitchen, and fun decor. I would stay here again for sure!

    Our stay was perfection! Thora’s home is so beautiful—and centrally located for walking around town. It also happens to be less than a block away from the best bakery on the planet, BakaBaka. :) It was the perfect amount of space for our group of 10…such attention to detail in each room and such character (especially the kitchen!) We will definitely be back!

    The location of this beautiful, historic home couldn’t be better. We were able to walk to fun shopping and great restaurants. The interior of the home is charming with beautiful original wood floors and staircase. It is however modernized in every important way. The kitchen has everything you might need to make a gourmet meal. The bathrooms are so pretty with excellent water pressure. I can’t think of anything I might do to improve our stay. It was all I could have hoped for!! I recommend this accommodation without reservation. Thank you!

    The house is absolutely wonderful! It fitted our group very well, was very spacious and beautiful. The kitchen was ideal for cooking and overall we could not have been happier with our choice. The location is perfect. Close to everything; grocery store, restaurants, bakery and everything else you need. It is located in a residential area with so much character. It really gives an authentic experience. Thora was a great communicator and went above and beyond to assist us in every way. Can’t recommend this gorgeous downtown villa highly enough!
