Perfect location with a parking spot
Private parking was great. Plenty of clean towels. Bring your own shampoo. It's perfect for 4-5 adults. Kitchen very useful in a city with very expensive restaurants.

Good location, bad for early arrival
Nice apartments in a good location but if your flight gets in early you have to store your luggage at another hotel about 6 blocks from the apartments and then find a way to get them to your apartments later in the day. It is walkable on a nice day (and these are not overly common), but lots of uneven sidewalks. Not ideal for families unless you want to book more than one room. Comfortable and clean though.

Great location, home away from home
Very quiet location, we slept well. We felt safe and secure. I booked this months in advance. I e-mailed ahead to get details of the stay, and they would respond within 1 to two days. A few days before you arrive, they send by email the details of how to get the keys and how to check out. If you plan to rent a car, non-paid parking is not guaranteed, however the street did always have spaces available, but you would likely need to pay. The location itself did not make it necessary for us to rent a car. We stayed for 8 nights. We made this our home base to take bus tours to the far reaches of Iceland. Taxis are a bit pricey, but good service. The apartment was very clean, we had microwave,small fridge with small freezer compartment, oven, hot plates, cutlery, plates, pots and pans, toaster, coffee maker, hair dryer, towels, Satellite TV and very good internet connection. Internet was good and fast and always up. I would stay there again. The cost, while pricey is comparable to all other prices.

Decent apartment, close to Reykjavik main square
Decent apartment to stay for a week in Reykjavik. The apartment is practically on the main street in the city, and is a block away from all restaurants and bars. The main street (Laugavegur) sees a lot of tourism, the neighborhood is fairly safe. Parking is on the street and is paid depending on the timing. We did not have much trouble finding parking.

Very disappointed.
Advertised as comfortable for 4 persons. With luggage we could not move. Did not receive the e-mail telling us how to get in, etc. Must have been sent after we already left US and went to spam. When we finally figured out how to get the key it was listed as #4 apartment but key opened #2. Still not certain we were in the right place. Overall dirty with dead spiders. Too dusty underneath beds to store suitcases. Luckily we were there on weekend so parking turned out ok, but if we were there on weekday would have been quite tricky. Should have been told about this ahead of time. Loved the country and the city and once we got used to the situation and since we were not in the apartment all that much it was doable but by far the worse accommodations we had in Iceland in a 9 day trip.

Centrally located and immaculate!
Basically a small two room efficiency apartment (as we would say in the US). Centrally located. Easy walk to main shopping streets and Reykjavik sites. No staff on site but received emails with good instructions on how to find our key and let ourselves in. The apartment also had a binder of all the useful information you could want. Free wifi and satellite tv. While channel surfing we ran across three adult chat channels featuring naked women so parents be vigilant. Probably a great vacation memory for our teenage son. Bed in main bedroom (two twins pushed together) was super comfortable and the second bed in the kitchen/dining room/main room was a futon that was fairly comfortable. Plenty of bedding and towels supplied. Apartment was very clean. Both of the two major tour bus companies and airport shuttle do pickups and drop offs here. It's a small place (we had apt #4) but for sleeping and showering it was just fine. Separate laundry room on site. Can be a little noisy when other guests come and go in the middle of the night but Reykjavik in the summer is known for early and late arrivals due to the flight schedules so you make due. We would stay here again.

Combined business and vacation. Not inexpensive but nothing in Iceland is inexpensive for Americans. Nice quiet residential neighborhood just two blocks of the main shopping street. Excellent location for tourists: an easy walk to all the tourist activities in the historic downtown Reykjavik area. Full service kitchen. Supermarket is 2 blocks away. Excellent blackout drapes to keep out midnight sunlight in the summer. Free use of washer and dryer. Airport shuttles drop off/pick up directly to address.

Close to everything in Reyjavik
Loved our stay at Grettisborg apartments. We only had one problem in our stay and that was a broken washing machine but the owners replaced it within 1/2 hour of me contacting them. Nothing was too much trouble. the room was excellent. Only one complaint, i hated the shower setup in our apartment - cannot say if they are all the same. 2 shower heads but one was broken and wouldnt stay in position and bathroom was tiny. But overall a nice place and very comfortable beds.

Brilliant location
Good communication with welcoming email a few days before arrival. A little confusing about how to get into the apartment initially but sorted quickly after a phone call. Excellent facilities, unexpectedly well equipped kitchen - could've baked a cake there if the whim had taken us...

Clean conveniently located apartment
Apartment was spotless, we didn't see anyone who worked there during our stay but had no issues communicating with them via email as we arrived later than we had expected. They were great to allow us to store our luggage on checkout in the laundry room so that we could shop a bit before leaving. One issue was all day drilling and construction at a building next door. Of course, this isn't their fault but if you plan to sleep past 8am forget it! It wasn't an issue for us since we had a tour booked for 9 the first day then were up with the drill because we needed to check out day two!

Overnight stay in Reykjavik
Our family stayed overnight in the Grettisborg Apartments Reykjavik. We received excellent detailed communications ahead of our arrival directly from the owner. The rooms are very comfortable with everything a family would need. Excellent location if you want to explore Reykjavik. Highly recommended!

Good location but building noise spoilt our holida
Very noisy building work on the attached property that continued throughput the Easter holiday weekend. Despite complaining to the owners the noise and work continued. It certainly affected our holiday and if we'd have been informed we would have made other arrangements.

Great apartment in Fantastic Location
Due to overbooking, we were upgraded to a private house. It was very nice! Everything we needed in the kitchen as well as a washer/dryer in the basement. My only complaint is that we had to switch from the house to an apartment for the last night of our trip, and that meant completely packing all of our bags to move. It put a big damper in our plans for the last full day of our trip, and it was a hassle with small children in tow. Plus, we were given a room downgrade from what we originally paid for, but sucked it up due to the original upgrade.

Nice little apartment in the centre of Reykjavik
We arrived when there had been a snow storm so the road was full of snow and we were coming from hot Southeast Asia. We were helped by other residents to get inside the laundry room to get our keys as it was not easy to open the door using the code. The apartment was different from the pics that we saw during booking so we were a bit hesitant, "is this the right one?" After that, all was great. We got email from owner informing the coming bad weather so we were not surprised when our tours were cancelled or rescheduled. We had kitchen so we can cook simple food and fridge to store cheese, ham and milk/juice. Supermarket is nearby and restaurants are plenty around. It's close to attractions so we could still do a bit of sightseeing despite the heavy snowing. We walked to the Phalic Museum. It was great and not pornographic, just a lot of preserved phalic. My 6 year old son and 15 year old daughter thought it was a refreshing museum. My son enjoyed the choice of kids programs on TV and my daughter enjoyed the Internet connection. Despite the weather outside, stuck inside was still a holiday.
