Studio apartment in Reykjavik
We've stayed here twice now and again it's absolutely amazing, the scenery, the apartment, the host all amazing and nothing to complain about. one of the best places I've ever stayed at.

Nice, bright and quiet studio, close to downtown.
A very pleasant, bright flat in a quiet street. Just perfect! Everything was available, well furnished. Helga was always available and responsive. I would recommend this place!

Skalafell-Cosy apartment, spectacular surroundings
Disa’s place was perfect for us, cozy and stylish in a beautiful setting. Not too far from town but felt remote. Very comfortable bed, refreshing shower. We appreciated making coffee in the Moccamaster.

Apartment by the sea - with breath taking views.
New, well stocked accommodations with a gorgeous view. Underground parking was a huge plus. Some construction in the area and not much around. But the stay was absolutely perfect.

Open and bright apartment in a quiet outdoor gem.
My family and I (5 adults) had a great stay there. Hjalmar and his wife greeted us when we arrived at the house. He was very responsive and flexible with our check-in. The place was clean and comfortable. It had everything. We would stay there again. Highly recommend!

Central loft with amazing views
Stella’s apartment is a great place to stay. It is spacious and very comfortable. Comfy beds and sofas and well equipped kitchen. Super location near the water front and close by all central attractions and shops. Stella was very helpful throughout. Highly recommend

Family flat
We stayed with two couples at Edyta‘s place during our Iceland road trip and really liked it. It’s spacious but also cozy and has everything you need. Very communicative & friendly as well. Thanks for everything :)

Spacious house in Reykjavik near the seaside
Bryndis and her family were wonderful hosts the place was close to some restaurants and the water. It is located in a peaceful section of Reykjavik and a great home base for activities around the capital. It is clean, spacious and the hosts were very responsive.

Seaview with Reykjavík City around the corner.
A fantastic homely place to stay with our family including teenage grandchildren. Great local supermarket and bus service which meant we didn't need a car. Superb views including across the bay to see the erupting volcano! The BBQ and the hot tub were fabulous as was the weather. Outdoor living was just as good as indoors. Everything we needed in the kitchen was available including a well stocked fridge on our arrival. Plenty bedding and towels to facilitate changing everything during our stay.

Cozy two storey house in Seltjarnarnes
Such a wonderfully cozy place in a great location! We loved being able to see the Northern Lights from the hot tub after a long day of exploring on the Golden Circle. House was super easy to get to - close to everything, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. We were able to beat the traffic and walk to catch multiple sunsets at the Grotta Lighthouse. Host's directions were super detailed for any and everything one would need to know and they were very responsive when we did have additional questions.

Beach House in Hvalfjordur
Svana's beach house was outstanding. Located on a picturesque whale fjord, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. So much nature to explore, including the nearby Golden Circle (Gullfoss Falls and Geysers) and the Hvammsvik Hot Springs (only three minutes away). We even lingered out on the porch at midnight listening to the bird calls.

A quiet, charming house by Reykjavik harbor
Loved our stay here! It felt very cozy and homey, and the location was perfect-very walkable to everything in Reykjavik. For parking, we stayed in the alley out of the way of other cars and had no other issues. My one comment would be that the hot water smell was quite sulfuric, but I think that is true of most places in Reykjavik and surrounding it. Overall though, I would love to be back-the bed was super comfortable too!

Ocean Front Designer Townhouse
The ocean view from this home was absolutely stunning. The location was great, with easy access to nearby restaurants and shops. The host was incredibly helpful. I had a wonderful stay!

Ocean view Townhouse
What a great place. We really enjoyed our stay here. Lots of room for everyone and such a great location - not far out of the city but very peaceful and beautiful. The favourite of the Air Bnb's we booked for our Iceland trip!

Ocean Property on the South Coast
We stayed wishing to catch the Northern Lights and we were lucky enough to do so each night and be there for a huge solar storm. We ventured out the first night and after that realized we were able to stay comfy at our airbnb and see them both in the front yard and backyard. The house was spacious and our children 7 & 1 loved the books and toys available. We were offered a portable crib and high chair which were convenient. There were plenty of novels for adults and a variety of books on Iceland. There is a washer and large drying rack, dishwasher, and full kitchen which was wonderful since it is a serene spot you can relax and not run down the road 15 minutes for food or coffee. I enjoyed walking the road to the church and admiring the horses next door. The location is remote and going to parks or the city required an hour drive. Our host was gracious and extended our check out which was helpful. Thank you for your hospitality.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Cozy Seaside Apartment with Stunning Bay Views
Very nice place to stay, great location, parking can get a little hectic but that can be expected.

Ocean View Condo near Sky Lagoon
The apartment was very spacious, clean, comfortable with a lovely view of the little harbor nearby. It provided my son and I with a base to explore many of Iceland's attractions using our car rental. Getting into the city takes about 12 minutes by car and around 45 minute by bus. We opted to cook at home since there's not a lot of restaurants nearby. Generally speaking this was a fantastic place to stay and made our whole week in Iceland stress free and relaxing. The apartment also has great water pressure and lots of warm water!

Lovely 2 bedroom condo with a beautiful view
Rùnar’s home is perfect to rest after an icelandic adventure. It’s warm, comfortable and nice, with an amazing ocean view (we had the chance to contemplete an eruption too!) and good markets near by. There is a delicious little fish market too, at few steps. Reykjavìk is easily reachable by walking (half an hour) or with bus and Seltjarnarnes is a peaceful and welcoming neighborhood. Rùnar and his family are helpful and kind. Thank you for sharing your home!

Downtown Harbor Apartment with Balcony
Harbor Apartment was a great place to stay! Walking distance to all the prime sights made it convenient, as well as the many restaurants. So convenient!! Host(s) were so responsive, as well as the information shared about the area, the apartment and the restaurant suggestions made our visit perfect! We definitely will return one day!

Bright Apartment With Ocean View & Near Downtown
The host was really communicative and accommodating. Her home is clean and has everything. We enjoy our stay and would recommend!

Lovely 1 bedroom condo next to Sky Lagoon
We had a great stay at Unnur's apartment. It was a perfect base for our adventures around Reykjavik. The location was very close to downtown (10min drive), walking distance to the Sky Lagoon (highly recommended) and having free parking was a lovely amenity. The apartment itself was lovely - bright, clean and well appointed - and the host, Unnur was excellent - very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a nice quiet location just outside of the city centre.

Modern & fully equipped first floor apartment
It was a memorable stay. Imagine you just moved in into your dream condo. Everything is new, clean, and well thought after. The place was spacious and immaculate. Anything you needed was right there for you. Beside that, Eydis was a great communicator and responded to massage within minutes. She offered for us to use any food in the fridge; which was very kind of her. Her flexibility with the check-in and the check-out time made our stay even better! We look forward to coming back again and soon 😊.

Luxury Apartment by the Harbor in Reykjavík
This listing was AMAZING! My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon in Iceland and it was perfect. The location is beautiful, and right across from the Edition (if you were thinking of booking there… book here instead - way better deal!). We didn’t cook here much, but did utilize the air frier which was a nice touch! We enjoyed the cleanliness and modern feel of the apartment. We also felt very safe at this location. The WiFi was great. The hosts were incredibly helpful and supportive with clear and quick communication whenever we messaged. The walking score is 10/10 as we caught all our tours from nearby bus stops 5 & 6. We walked to all our restaurants from here and enjoyed the food hall which is right below the apartment as well. If you haven’t booked here yet… what are you waiting for!?
