Positive: Great location, right opposite the Hallgrímskirkja church and about a 15 minute walk away from rainbow street. We stayed here for 2 nights and since it was a weekend we could park for free opposite the building in the church parking lot. The entire house is very cozy, warm and clean. The kitchen is well equipped, the house also had a nice dining room. Our rooms were sufficiently spacious with an attached bathroom We had read from reviews that the water in the washrooms smell of sulphur and this was the case, since we already knew about it we really didn’t mind it and honestly it added to the charm of this place. The washroom was good for us but some people may find it a little small We really loved our stay here, thank you for having us !
Negative: Nil
Summary: Cozy home at a great location !

Positive: It's right across the street from the big cathedral and Bus Stop 8 which is really convenient for most tour pickups and drop offs. You can walk pretty easily around the whole city from there. The owners answer messages really quickly and are very helpful. The rooms are simple and comfortable. I had a great stay.
Summary: Great location, nice owners. Would stay here again.
