Ava Apartments by Heimaleiga

Loved absolutely everything about this apartment, it's a real hidden gem right in the centre of Reykjavik. The location is fantastic- so so close to everything including the bus stop for going on tours, restaurants and bars and the famous rainbow street and church. It is beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly need. Very cosy and great for winding down after long day trips. Nothing better than kicking off the snow boots, turning on the heating and all sitting together watching Netflix. Really enjoyed having the kitchen facilities and saving ourselves a bit of money being able to go to the local Bonus for groceries and making breakfasts and packed lunches for daytrips. Also used the luggage storage facilities which was great for dumping our bags and getting out exploring.

I stayed here with my husband for 7 nights recently - he was visiting for work, and I for pleasure. The photographs are very true to life - it was well furnished and very well situated. We were sent a door code to enter the building, and it was very easy to find, with a wonderful view of Reykjavik. There were several steps to get up, but it wasn't too onerous for us. The apartment has 3 rooms - an open plan living/dining/kitchen/entertaining space, a bathroom and a bedroom. The bedroom had one large mattress and 2 single duvets, and a blanket, with a generous sized wardrobe. There were power outlets all over the apartment - so no shortage there at all. The kitchen was quite well furnished, and so we were able to cook dinner 5 times without any issues at all. Dishwasher proved very handy, as there was nowhere to air dry dishes and cutlery. The smart TV came with netflix, and the owners kindly provided us with the password. Good wifi too. The only downsides - you honestly feel like you're in the club below on Friday and Saturday night, where people party until 4am - no shelf in the shower - would have been handy to place bar soap (which we brought) on it -not enough bin bags But these are all very minor things. I'd definitely stay again!

We stayed in these apartments for just under a week as a family of four with two teenagers. The apartment is very well decorated - as you walk in it’s one of those ‘ooh this is nice’ moments! Comfortable furnishings, lovely well equipped kitchen and gloriously hot shower. The apartment is warm and the beds are comfortable. The location of the apartment is superb - I don’t think you could get better for walking around the whole of Reykjavik with plenty of restaurants and shops literally on your doorstep. Please note there is no washing machine. The only improvements that I would suggest are the addition of a mirror in one of the bedrooms as currently the only mirror is in the bathroom which makes getting ready very time consuming with 4 people having to take it in turns.
