Positive: If you’re thinking of visiting Reykjavík and looking for a place to stay, look no further: Vakta was amazing and the host, Margrét, was even better! We took our family of 4 on a quick 4.5 day trip to Iceland, because our boys wanted to see the northern lights. Originally, I tried booking a hotel for my wife and I, and our 2 boys(7 and 5). Every hotel we looked at was too small and could accommodate the 4 of us in one room so we decided on an air bnb. That’s when I came across Vakta and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. First of all, the house is so cozy, and wonderfully decorated with unique 1 of a kind items that made the historic house feel even more special. Margrét made sure we had everything we needed. We were walking distance to everything(food, shopping, museums, drinks, sightseeing, bus stops) and Margrét had a car for us to use to explore and hunt for the lights. Our boys loved the sleeping arrangements in the lofts and couldn’t wait to lay down every night. Margrét was easy to get in touch with and also helped us with any questions we had. If we ever visit Reykjavik again we will be sure to try and stay here again.
Summary: Wonderful house for families!
