Positive: Location location location. The location was perfect to get around. Just by the icon Hallgrimskirkja church. A short walk lot of shops, restaurants, the sun voyager and the harpa. Was easily picked up and dropped off by tour buses and airport shuttle at bus stop 8 which is a 2-minute walk from the property. Very detailed instructions left by the hosts at arrival. Useful recommendations for food and grocery shopping. Very well equipped kitchen to cook your own meals. Was also very nice to have tea selections and cereals to pick from for free. I was here for just 2 nights and no regrets.
Negative: My private bathroom was outside the room but not a dealbreaker.
Summary: Great stay
