    Nothing.

    Cozy apartment, confortable and functional. Location in the city center, in a quiet area. Good and effective communication with the host, who was really kind.

    Please add a shower curtain to the bathtub so one can shower without getting water all over everything.

    It was as expected. Perfect for our needs.

    Hosts were very accommodating to the last minute changes in arrival times. The location was perfect for our needs. No breakfast was included. We left very early both times we stayed so it wasn’t important to have breakfast. The employees were very nice and helpful.

    Room was very small, but not a huge issue for us as we just needed a safe and comfortable place to sleep while exploring the city.

    Great location, rooms were clean, owner was responsive, and they had a cute Golden Retriever in the main house for me to get my dog-petting fix for the day.

    The room was so small that it was difficult to open even one suitcase, let alone two. We stayed here twice, and both times we had to take turns opening our cases.

    The location was excellent. It was possible to walk to many areas of interest. Parking nearby wasn't too hard. It was easy to find using google maps. It was a good shower, and had a bathtub as well.

    Location is brilliant, room is functional and clean

    The shower is slightly dated. The water from the drain smells like sulfur but I think that comes down to how Iceland heats their hot water using geothermal steam generally so I am not sure whether the sulfur smell is from old pipes or generic icelandic water.

    Room is extremely big and spacious! We got an apartment which comes with two bedroom with the price of smaller apartment in reykjavik! Absolute valuue for money! Thorey, the host, and his wife are very kind. The dog and cat (called Jelly Belly) are adorable and greeted us at the door!

    One of the windows had a curtain rod but no curtains, which made the room super bright for summer time evening, despite the thin shade the window included

    Gorgeous, spacious downstairs room with huge windows on 2 sides of the room, overlooking the lovely courtyard.
