“What I found notable here is the blend of residential immersion and accessibility; you're experiencing local Reykjavik life, yet the city center is easily walkable. I appreciate the practical touches, like proximity to the bus terminal-ideal for airport transfers and tours, skipping those extra hotel pick-up fees. It strikes me as a savvy choice for travelers who prioritize authentic experiences and convenience over elaborate hotel frills.”
