Svala Apartments by Heimaleiga

Nice studio apartment in the heart of Reykjavik. It's located on the busy street, so it could be noisy during evenings and especially during Friday and Saturday. Great location! Kitchen was well equipped with necessities for cooking and eating in. Couple of grocery stores near by and plenty of shops. Our apartment had a huge bay window: perfect for watching busy life of Reykjavik. Parking was a challenge as small studio apartment did not have assigned free parking. We managed, but it was an additional cost and hassle to find parking. We used paid covered parkade during the day and free street parking during the night. Host company was easy to reach when we had couple of questions and they are available 24x7. Nice place.

The place was fine however there are cheaper, quieter options that also include breakfast and parking.

This was a small, simple apartment that has a basic kitchenette, which is essential for any Iceland vacation because of the cost of food there. The parking was a bit confusing, we thought we would have access to parking but we later learned that our unit didn't have an assigned spot after all. Accessing the unit was easy with the provided codes, no issues there. The unit had blackout curtains which really helps when days are long. The location was great. The unit was on the 4th floor, no elevator, so be prepared for stairs. This is out of the hosts' control, but the water in this building seemed to be more smelly than other places I have stayed in the country. The smell did not go away even after letting the cold water run for a while. I would recommend that you buy water before you arrive if you are sensitive to smells. I just have one suggestion for the hosts : please consider installing a shower door.

Lovely Apartment. Check in and out was simple. No complaints.
