Stayed Dec 31, 1969This is a unique, historic property that is special for a VRBO. The host is extremely responsive.We were 'wow'ed' when we checked into this highly curated space. This is a special place, well located in the city center. If you have mobility issues the stairs will be an issue. We loved our stay here and are very grateful to the amazing host!

Stayed Jul 8, 2025We loved our stay at Vatka! Margrét’s home and hospitality leave nothing to be desired. The historic house is cozy, artfully curated, and thoughtfully equipped. The central location was perfect for exploring downtown’s restaurants, shops, and coastal sights, which Margrét’s visitor’s guide made easy. A truly special stay.

Stayed Jun 1, 2025My 10 year-old son and I had a wonderful stay. Margret, the host, was kind, thoughtful, and warm. We loved the house. It is charming, tasteful, and well appointed. Upon arrival, we found fresh flowers, fruit, pastries, yogurt, and a bottle of wine. The location is convenient and walking distance to most of the major sites in Reykjavik. My son was especially enchanted by the sleeping loft. We truly loved our stay.

Stayed Jul 9, 2024Oh my goodness, this rental was so perfect for us! It was my first time in Iceland and this historic, comfortable and chic home was so much fun! Margret is the perfect host; we were want for nothing. I'm already planning my next trip and will definitely stay here if it's available. Do yourself a favor and do the same.

Stayed Jun 14, 2023Margret's property in Reykjavik was clean, cute and perfect for 2 friends staying a few days in the capital. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, lovely little kitchen and sitting area, nice sized bathroom (and a washer!) and a remarkably spacious loft area with two beds and a third little area for hanging out or sleeping. The small spaces are put to good use. As others have noted, the stairs are tight and steep, so just a note if you have difficulty with stairs. We did not! The neighborhood was quiet and residential but close to everything. Margret was lovely, helpful and left delicious treats and drinks to get us started. Highly recommended.

Stayed Aug 11, 2022Everything about this house is perfection. Wonderful attention to detail. Just a few blocks from restaurants, cafes, museums, the harbor. We could not have been happier and hope we get to return.
