i stayed in a one-bedroom apartment. the location was very convenient. it was just three minutes walking from hallgrímskirkja. the furniture looked carefully selected.

i was not informed until i arrived that i can't check in at the building. i had to walk two to three minutes away to another facility in order to check in. ventilation inside the apartment was limited. there were no amenities inside the apartment, not even water.

The location is very central. It allowed quick access to many city attractions. A modern kitchen features a large table. It was well-equipped.

The sign at the main entrance lacked clarity. It did not include all the room numbers in the building.
