Beautiful old house. Renovated kitchen, well equipped including dish washer. I loved the living room and breakfast room which had a lot of character. Huge bathrooms on every floor. TV/game room upstairs. Comfy beds. Fantastic communication with host.

Great place to stay.
Stay was really good and relaxing. Clean and comfortable. Was even able to use the "Staff Only" laundry facilities! Only thing negative about it was receiving "Your upcoming stay" emails for two days AFTER my one-night stay from StayWest (hotel operator). Curious and a little concerning about being double charged at first.

We got in late and left early on a one night stay on our way back to Reykjavik; check in was easy and the house was lovely. Breakfast was oddly at a cafe a few streets away (walkable) but was good and cosy.

Nice place and nice area
Very nice place, in an area that we really enjoyed. We got some our best pictures of the sunset here. We were a little confused when we got there and the place was unoccupied. I had missed an email that gave instructions on how to get into the house. Once I looked through my emails and found the code to get in, everything was great. The house was clean and very comfortable.

Our trip in one word was - epic. We absolutely loved our stay at your guesthouse. Great value for money! Modern and welcoming decor, clean rooms and kitchen, quiet neighborhood close to shops. The only thing that would have been nice was if there was a greetor or host who would have been on hand initially to help us with questions and advise us on how to navigate ourselves through Iceland. In summary I give you 5 stars though!

Il n y a personne à l accueil donc il faut téléphoner pour avoir le code pour ouvrir la porte puis celui du coffre ou est la clef de la chambre Cela devrait être fourni automatiquement par sms dès que la réservation est confirmée Pour mon opérateur téléphonique je serais facturé comme ci j appelais de France donc je n apprécie pas
