Stayed in the Apts. The location is perfect, right at the heart on Reykjavík.The apt was spacious and very clean,great decor. The balcony had an amazing view and some furniture outside to be able to sit and enjoy the view. Kitchenette was fully equipped and lacked nothing. The bathroom was quite big. 10/10 for the shower. Overall great experience and great service. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.
