    Great location, relatively busy street, hot water smelled a bit but that is to be expected. Internet connection was a bit slow to watch tv or a movie. Close enough to walk to the church and shopping area. Ice can only be found at the grocery store, Kronan. State run liquor store Vinbudin is the best place to buy beer besides the airport. Don’t trust the gps in the car, it brought us down many dead ends

    Property requires some minor maintenance. Some electrical outlets were not secure in wall which is a concern for small children. Living room light bulb was burned out. Back yard was not really useable. Kitchen and bath were nice and bedrooms more than adequate. Beds were comfortable. Location was very good, within walking distance to most areas and amenities.

    This is a great location, within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. We were able to save some money by picking up breakfast items and eating in a couple of times. Most of Reykjavik is much quieter than just about any American city but this neighborhood was quieter than most. It was nice to have a parking space off the street (in front of the garage). The property was clean and comfortable and a great value for a family or group of friends (5-6 people). Ulli communicated with us in a timely manner.

    We stayed here for a girls' getaway to celebrate our 50th birthdays, and it was absolutely perfect! The home was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated—exactly like the photos. There was plenty of room for the six of us to relax, laugh, and enjoy quality time together.The location was ideal, quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to walk to everything we wanted to see and do. Communication with the host was excellent, and check-in was seamless. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing stay!

    The property is in a great location and parking is excellent! Inside the house we were pleased with accommodations. Few updates such as the floor and shower leaked but was fine. The outside is definitely not as pictured and there was overflowing garbage outside. The backyard definitely needs work and sitting on deck definitely not something you can do.

    This was a large, roomy home with everything you could need. I really liked the comfy blankets and my kids liked the bunk bed room. The bath towels were nice and cozy too. The decor made a difference too. It felt like we were staying in a storybook home. I loved the long wooden dining table and accompanying bench. It was the perfect spot for skyr breakfasts and oven baked fish dinners. It was a 10 minute walk to town or an easy drive. We highly recommend checking out the wave pool and Perlan museum while you stay here.

    Would not stay here again. The problems are related mostly to the upstairs bedrooms and the linens. First, some positives: As the pictures show, the downstairs living area is nice looking. We did not cook other than to make coffee, so I can’t comment on ease of using the kitchen. There was a bag of ground coffee available. I appreciated that the owner agreed to a late checkout as our flight wasn’t departing until 17:00. The bedrooms are located upstairs. There are no bedside table lamps in the larger bedroom, but there are 2 metal bedside tables that are rusty. There is no closet in that bedroom or anyplace to stow your luggage. Bedding problems: king size bed in bedroom 1 had one twin size duvet with just one pillow. the duvet was covered in a scratchy seersucker fabric. The queen bed in the adjoining bedroom also had one narrow duvet and it had NO pillow. All of the pillows are thin and have seen better days. There were some extra linens thrown haphazardly on top of the 3rd bedroom bunk bed but no pillowcase on the extra pillow, and no duvet covers for the extra comforters (no top sheets as is common in Europe). The shower leaks so you’ll need to use the thin bath towels to mop up the lake when you get out. No body wash or soap (there is liquid hand soap for the sink, and there were a variety of shampoos that may have been left by previous guests. The upstairs smells strongly of mildew. The shower has mildew in the grout. The bathroom fan seems to

    My 4 friends and I stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. There were 3 large bedrooms and a very large bathroom, so we never felt like we were on top of each other. The house is walking distance to a small grocery store, and we were able to walk downtown each day (~15 min walk). The instructions from the host were clear - we had no issues during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again.

Our group of 5 guests comfortably fit and enjoyed the amenities including the dining area, bedrooms, laundry and parking space. It was very convenient to drive 8 mins away to town where all the restaurants and shopping were nearby. If you book the Sky Lagoon (great experience IMO), it's also a 12 min drive away. Thank you Ulli for allowing us to stay at your wonderful space. We enjoyed our first time in Reyjkavik and would definitely be back!
