Suitable for: Couples, small families, and those who appreciate a quiet location with easy access to the pool and a pleasant walk to the city center.
Consider: The distance to the city center might be a drawback for some, especially if relying on walking in all weather conditions. Overall: The reviews paint a very positive picture of this short-term rental. Inga's hospitality, the apartment's comfort and cleanliness, and the convenient location near the pool make it a highly recommended choice for many travelers to Reykjavik.
