Stroll to Reykjavik Harbor from a Cozy Apartment

The apartment is around 60 square meters on the second floor. Location is very close to downtown Reykjavik, some 5-10 minutes by foot, about 2-3 minutes with Taxi. Supermarkets within 3 minutes walking distance. Seltjarnarnes or Vesturbæjarlaug swimming pool with warm natural water just a short ride away. In the home you have access to WiFi, Apple TV with access to streaming services in the living room area. Also in the bedroom you have a TV with an Apple TV for late night streaming. Access to an iPad in the living room for planning your expeditions, controlling the lights, music or more. The kitchen comes fully equipped with oven, microwave and dishwasher. If any questions arise during your stay I am just a phone-call away and able to assist you to the best of my abilities. The apartment is in a family-orientated neighborhood, with a playground across the street. Central Reykjavik is only a 5-10 minute stroll. It’s just a short drive to Seltjarnarnes and Vesturbæjarlaug swimming pool with warm natural water. Being located downtown you can walk to most relevant places in Reykjavik. If you tend on traveling further the local bus system (Strætó) will get you almost anywhere.
