Charming Airbnb. Owner very helpful. Great location. Cleanliness next level. Only drawback was steep steps for luggage. But friendly cleaning person helped on way in.

Great location to get to Rainbow Street in Reykjavik and all the adjoining areas (about a 5 minute walk).

Great host and easy to do a self check in. Facilities were spotless and modern. Bed was comfortable and clean.

Can't fault the place and will book again the next time I'm in Reykjavik.

Gudrun was a fantastic and kind host, offering us many useful suggestions and tips on how to make the most of our trip to Reykjavík. Her guesthouse was beautiful, and the cat was a very sweet friend during our stay here! The location placed us within walking distance to many different places we wished to visit, and her other guests were amicable as well. Overall, this was a great stay!

Loved the location and was able to park right in front of building. Super sweet bedroom with big bed and window, even in basement! Kind and attentive host who was very responsive & helpful. I had poor luck to be there with very large family who were up late and early, talking loudly, stomping and overtook bathroom/kitchen/living area in a massive way. They were not considerate, so that is risk with Airbnb/guesthouse. Affordable and worth it. Would stay again and hope for better luck😊

We did not stay here.  Rather we made a group reservation which we sadly had to cancel.  We canceled within THEIR stated cancellation period.  They have not refunded our payment of more than $6000.  Essentially they have stolen our money and will not reply, offer any explanation or act in any way resembling decent human beings.  They have proven themselves to be thieves and liars.  They do not deserve any business from anyone.  The world needs decent people and these people are the opposite.
