We stayed in a very nice apartment in the center of town. The apartment was spacious and well equipped. It worked out great for our family (2 adults, 2 children).
Sjonni takes extra care to make sure you have everything you need before you arrive. It sure beats staying in a a more pricey and smaller hotel!
We will be sure to use this service should our travels take us back to Reykjavik!
We stayed 5 nights in Reykjavik Central Apartments and our stay couldn't have been better. I honestly can't think of anything our host could have added to make things even better.
Everything you need is there (fully equipped kitchen washing machine, dish washer, iron table) with basic products you don't want to buy for a short stay (sugar, olive oil, salt, dish washer product), things you don't always get when you rent a flat.
The living room has a lot of space and everything was very clean when we arrived.
Expect what you see on the pictures :) The Icelandic sobriety with confort :)
The location is also perfect, right in the middle of eveything. You can easily walk to Laugavegur or the harbor. Yet the street remains quite at night during the week end when things can go a little bit crazy in Reykjavik ;)
We didn't see our host (you'll get the key from a small outdoor safebox and will leave it there when you leave) but he stayed in touch with us giving us loads of useful information and making sure our stay was going well.
I'd totally recommend to stay there. We'll come back for sure !
Our family (children age 14,12,8,6) stayed at this apartment for four nights. We had long wanted to visit Iceland. This apartment could not be described as cheap - but it is terrific value for a group such as ours compared to hotel prices. It is worth every penny. It is large, modern and warm. It is stylishly decorated but in a reasonably child-proof way. The picture window view of the harbour is much, much more fascinating and beautiful than pictures can suggest. There is underground parking and the apartment is located a few minutes’ walk from a variety of supermarkets, bars and restaurants. The property manager is accessible and very helpful.
We were mostly children but three couples would be equally happy here.
You may raise an eyebrow looking at the area and harbour on Streetview. You would be wrong. This is a buzzing and lively area, and the main downtown area is a short walk away.
Altogether a great place to stay
Arrived in Reykjavik for a 4 day stay with the family, stayed in the central apartments and we just loved it, Sjonni the owner was just great.
We had a fantastic time in Iceland and this was due to the fact that we had somewhere
nice, warm, and clean to come back to at the end of each day.
I would recommend Central Apartments.
The apartment was fantastic. We were a group of 6 and each one of us loved the place. Amazing view to the harbour, well equipped and very clean also.
Sjonni was very helpful, making sure we have everything before we get there. He was kind enough to send us a very useful booklet with directions and general information.
Certainly recommend it and definitely coming back!
Just wanted to say that the experience we had staying at Vesturgata was outstanding. This unit is perfectly located in Reykjavik ,very updated modern décor, and spotless.
Sjonni was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had, directions were clearly laid out and there was no issue finding it.
definitely 5 out of 5!
