We would love to welcome you to our century home in the heart of Reykjavík. The apartment is perfectly located and within walking distance to everything downtown. The apartment is cosy and full of positive atmosphere. Most houses in Iceland are relatively new but our house was built in the 19th century, making it one of the oldest buildings here. The universities are nearby, the walk to the University of Iceland takes 20 minutes and takes you by one of Reykjavík's most charming landmarks, Tjörnin (the pond). The next bus stop is at Mýrargata, 5min walk away.
The apartment is well organized. The entryway has a closet for your coats and from there you can enter your bedroom, the kitchen or a narrow corridor which leads to the bathroom. The kitchen is well-equipped and has a small dining table. From there, you can enter the basement, a common area where laundry is done. There are two apartments in the house, each with its own entrance, we live in the one upstairs and are quick to help with anything.
Please note that this is only available for individuals, no couples. There are three other bedrooms, each with one person, so you would share the apartment with three flatmates. The bedrooms vary in size and are all listed here on Housing Anywhere.
NEIGHBORHOOD
Our house is located in the Old West Town, one of the most sought-after districts in Iceland and the second-oldest one in Reykjavik. At the end of the 19th century, when the city center became too small for the growing population, it naturally expanded, along with its harbour, westward towards the sea. No development plan was in place until 1927, so houses popped up without any planning, such as ours. The organic layout of the buildings makes the area stand out. The first large road in Reykjavik, Hringbraut, was built in order to move traffic from Vesturbær to downtown. It was predominantly an industrial fishing district and our house used to be home to a marine company for decades. Before that it used to belong to a saddle maker. We found ancient horse saddles in the attic.
