10 Reviews of Property 287489 in Reykjavik, Iceland

First trip to Iceland and we could not have chosen better self catering accommodation in Reykjavik. Went for self catering in case we needed to spend time indoors due to bad weather - as it worked out we had no rain in 6 days. The location was excellent with all downtown bars, restaurants and other activities on your doorstep (including the 2011 Culture Night - fantastic). The appartment was clean, warm, bright and spacious with all required facilities. Comfortable beds sleep 4 easily and 6 at a pinch. Bathroom fine but there is also a super strong shower downstairs if required. Last, but cetainly not least, the appartment was excellent value for money and the owner was very personable and helpful. Very highly recommended.

The location of this apartment is perfect. Just a few minutes walk into town. There was 5 adults on our trip and the apartment was the perfect size. It was very clean and have everything you need in there.

Sveinn (the owner) is not just an amazing owner of the apartment he was the perfect tour guide too. He was so knowledgeable and very welcoming. Recommended us places to go and visit and places to eat, he was very honest with everything. I would highly recommend the private 4x4 super jeep tour he also run, that was the best birthday I've had for a long time and the homemade lunch was just amazing.

I would highly recommend this apartment to all my friends and family who is thinking of going to Iceland and I will definitely go back and stay at Sveinn's apartment again.

The Lindo Penthouse is located close to the central parts of Reykjavik. It take about 3 minutes to walk to the main street. It is easy to get to all the museums, shops and restaurant. It was easy to find a available parking spot for our car. The apartment was clean and have all the things you need. Don´t let the outside of the house fool you.The pictures of the apartment gives you an accurate description of the apartment. We where satisfied with our stay at the Lindo penthouse. Svienn was helpful and easy going. I would recommend this to a friend or colleague.

We took a family/business trip for 10 days to Iceland and chose to stay at an appartment, since it was cheaper and more comfortable than a hotel (we were 5 adults and a 5 month old baby). Lindo penthouse looked great in the pictures and it really was beautiful in real life! Cozy, big, comfortable, sunny (when there was sun!) and quiet, even if it is right downtown Reykjavik. Perfect for relaxing after a day of working, hiking or driving around. And so close to everything that we could decide on the go if we wanted to go out for dinner or stay "at home". Plus, Sveinn was absolutely great, helpful and nice. We recommend Lindo Penthouse without a doubt (except to anyone with mobility problems, since the stairs to the penthouse are VERY steep)!

Our stay at the Lindo Penthouse was absolutely wonderful. The apartment was bright, spacious and clean in a quite location with an amazing view of the water and mountains while also being just two short blocks off the main shopping street + downtown. It was great to be able to wake up and make breakfast before heading out to explore, something that is hard to do in a hotel! We also were in love with the large tub (it has a sprayer in case you were wondering), which was perfect after being out in the very strong winds all day.

Sveinn was great; he picked us up and dropped us off at the airport and gave us detailed instructions on how to find what we wanted to see from the apartment. He also provided a cell phone with his number and an emergency number programmed in which we thought was a nice touch.

Also, if you are staying at Lindo (or even if you're not) make sure to book a tour with Sveinn! We took the Golden Circle tour which was surreally beautiful, walked around on the Langjokull Glacier, and had homemade lamb and flatbread sandwiches with hot tea that Sveinn packed as a snack at the Kerid crater lake. We had such a fun time learning about Iceland and joking around, I can't imagine the bigger tour companies are as personable.

We can't wait to come back to Iceland and see the country in the summer, and we already know where we're staying. Thanks so much Sveinn!!

Great atmosphere in the apartment - really cozy and with a fantastic light coming from all the windows. The location is perfect - right in the city center and still with a tiny view of the fjords, giving you that feeling of space and the ability to watch the ever changing weather fenomenon - absolutely beautiful now and then!
Professional and super friendly customer service.

I only missed a shower in the apartment (there is one though in the basement) instead of getting your daily wash sitting in a bathtub - but that`s only minor details. All in all a really nice experience, so I will definitely use this appartment in the future.

The Lindo apartment was a great place to stay during our Iceland vacation. It was charming and clean with comfortable beds and sofas, and lots of space for 4 adults. It had an open floor plan with 2 twin beds in the loft, a double in the bedroom, and a large sofa bed in the main living space (separate from the sofa in front of the tv). The bathroom was huge with a nice tub.
We had a fantastic view of the bay and the snow-capped mountains from the kitchen, dining room and living room area. Plus it’s located on a quiet street that was a very short walk to the main shopping area, bars, restaurants, museums, tourist information center, and the pond. The famous hotdog stand Baejarins Betzu is just down the hill across the large parking lot! The only downside was for us shower-loving people - the shower was all the way downstairs!
Sveinn(Svenni), the owner, was a great host. He made us feel instantly at home, and was kind enough to bring our bags up and down the apartment. The apartment is located on the top floor (3rd floor). Throughout the booking process and while we were there, he answered all our questions promptly and knowledgeably. He is honest and forthcoming. We had a fabulous time with him hunting for the northern lights on our 3rd night in Iceland.
I would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and family. I would also recommend the super jeep tours that Sveinn offers. It’s a one of a kind experience. He is a fun host with a wealth of information about Iceland.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a quiet location but it was also very near to the Centre and supermarkets/restaurants ETC in town. The view from the kitchen window overlooked the sea and we were able to watch many ships pass by.

We travelled extensively whilst in Iceland covering a large part of the South-west area but our trip with Sveinn to the 'Naughty' Eyjafjallokull volcano proved very exciting.
We travelled through many fast flowing rivers with magnificent scenery all around and saw quite a few black sheep in the fields.

We also visited the blue lagoon and really enjoyed our afternoon swimming in the wonderfully warm water.

We hope to return some time in the future.
