Historic 1st Floor Apartment in the Heart of the City

Nestled on a quiet downtown street, this warm and inviting 45 square metre apartment occupies a historic house dating back to 1906, one of the oldest in Reykjavík. Carefully preserved yet comfortably appointed, the residence offers an authentic connection to the city’s heritage while providing every element of a relaxed, well-lived-in home.

The space features a generous double bedroom and an additional sofa bed in the living area, comfortably accommodating two guests. A full bathroom completes the layout. The atmosphere feels distinctly cosy, with natural light filtering through windows that gently frame views of the surrounding city and neighbourhood gardens. These verdant glimpses bring a sense of calm, softening the urban edge and enhancing the home’s inviting character.

From this central position on Njálsgata, the pulse of Reykjavík is only steps away. The main shopping thoroughfare, Laugavegur, the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church, and the beloved Sundhöllin swimming pool with its geothermal hot tubs are all within a three to five minute stroll.

Daily essentials and local flavours are equally close, including a Bónus grocery store, the celebrated Brauð & Co bakery, and ROK restaurant alongside numerous other cafes and pubs.

This is not merely a place to rest but a genuine base for experiencing the city as a local would. The blend of old-world charm, garden and city views, and unmatched walkability makes this apartment a truly distinctive downtown sanctuary.
