Summary: This charming, historic home was just perfect! Very well appointed, decorated with lovely artwork, comfortable bed and perfectly located in old town of Reykjavik with all the restaurants and shops you could want on your doorstep or within easy walking distance. Parking right outside too is super handy! Elsa was a lovely host and very responsive. If it's available for your visit, just book it... We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Summary: A fantastic place to stay! You are in the heart of everything and you are in walking distance of most of the in-town tourist things you would need. Of course, getting out of town is the best way to see Iceland, but this is spacious, and the owners are great. I would recommend this place.
