We stayed here for three nights during our 10-day trip to Iceland. Disa she is a very warm and beautiful host. The house has been renovated for 5 years and is still in progress. From the furnishings in the house, we can see her design intentions! We are very lucky to meet her boyfriend, who is a professional composer and plays traditional and modern folk songs on the piano. He also performs at the Icelandic Harpa Concert Hall.Thank to Disa we stayed very comfortably for three nights in Iceland. The bus station is right next to it, there are parks nearby, delicious bakeries and ice cream, everything here is so wonderful 😊

The room had absolutely everything we needed. It was very cozy and warm, the bed was comfortable and the heated bathroom floor was especially appreciated! The shared kitchen was also clean and helpful, everything we could think of was provided, coffee, tea, utensils, fridge, microwave etc and even milk and cream for our beverages. It is a nice quiet neighborhood, with a Bonus supermarket very close and a short walk from the centre, near a bus stop for the tours and in general easy to walk almost everywhere. Staff were also very explanatory and kind and provided all the information needed. Thank you for everything, we would stay there again!

The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!

Very good price for a single room in Reykjavik, was even cheaper than dorm-beds in some hostels! Good location, only a few minutes walk to city center. Supermarket next door, still the street itself is rather quiet. Very clean and also has basic equipment for cooking.
