Perfect spot for short stay in Reykjavik
Our group of 3 couples all enjoyed this cottage for our first few nights in Iceland! Location and amenities of the property were just what we needed - and each couple had enough privacy within the cottage. The well-curated decor was cheery and modern, and the hot pot was the icing on the cake! We will hope to return!

Great apartment, great location.
We completely enjoyed our stay. The apartment is fully updated and very comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe with plenty of parking. It is a very short walk to city center with shops and restaurants. Check in and out was simple with key pad. A great stay.

Amazing! Just amazing!
The house is just beautiful, clean and very comfortable. I love simple Icelandic style. It’s simple but very high quality. The house is very close to the famous church. Actually, you can see it from the bedroom window. It’s very easy to communicate with the host. I feel that I had been kind of bothersome prior to our trip, asking him many questions. He was always gracious and helpful. I already told Bjorn that we would be back. The cleanness of his house met even my standards! Thank you!

Excellent Stay in Reykjavik
We (my wife and I plus two adult children) just got back from 7 nights in Reykjavik. There are several things worth emphasizing about this house, where we stayed our entire time. From the outside, it is a very picturesque cottage set in a quiet residential area. Inside, the kitchen and both bathrooms are completely modernized. Kitchen is well stocked. Everything is clean. All the rooms are good sized. We were comfortable when inside, and with three separate bedrooms we all could have privacy when we wanted it. But of course, you are not going to Iceland to spend all your time inside. Everyday we were either exploring the city or going on day trips around the island, and this house was ideally located to serve both purposes. It is a less than a 5 minute walk to the historic downtown area with its many shops and excellent restaurants. It is also a less than 5 minute walk to Bus Stop 8 next to the Hallgrímskirkja chuch (a tourist destination in its own right), where virtually all excursions operating out of Reykjavik collect passengers for day trips outside of the city. Highly recommended!

Adorable Icelandic Retreat
Moon Cottage was the perfect home away from home. It is located in a quiet neighborbood within easy walking distance of Central Reykjavik's restaurants and shops. We were five adults. The house is not huge, but it makes practical use of all of the space, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The best feature is that the house has two full bathrooms and both are large. There are two bedrooms upstairs. The living room had a sofa bed which was very comfortable. The comfortable sofa bed was an added bonus because so many are not comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and dishes. There is a washer, which was extremingly helpful. My only suggestions would be to add a dryer. It rained while we were there and it was hard to dry the cloths in the damp weather. Both bathrooms have a heated towel dryer, which really helped. The owner was wonderful to deal with. He provided lots of practical and helpful information (about Moon Cottage and Reykjavik) prior to our arrival and always responded to my emails quickly. Another bonus was the excellent quality of the towels; they were large and soft. The hot tub needs a little work. We did not get in it, but it looked like the paint was pealing. This is not a big deal, though. Moon Cottage definitely is "Excellent" and we would stay here again.

Disappointing/Overpriced
The property is in a fairly good location, but the structure and furnishings are underwhelming for the price. The beds are small and lumpy, the stairs extremely steep and frightening, and the place was stuffy in the day and drafty at night. Charming is not the word I would use in describing this location. Terrace connotes a view. Hot tub was not a hot tub, but a "hot pot" which is a small, uncomfortable, rudimentary and unclean. One has to leave the windows open at night which results in a lot of noise from the street and neighbors.(especially if you are in the front room on the sofa) Despite the fact that there is a enclosed patio (terrace) and rather open front room that will accomodate luggage storage if you arrive early, the owner is adamant that there is no "early" arrival or ability to store your luggage before 2 pm check in time. That created a very large inconvenience for us and was disappointing upon discovering that there was ample space for luggage storage without putting out the housecleaners. Lastly, the place did not seem welcoming and was a bit sterile. No welcome note or other niceties we have seen at other locations. Just a three ring binder with some maps, etc. I would stay here again if I had to, but it would not be my first, second, or third choice.

Great location and great host
Really enjoyed the stay at this property. The cottage is conveniently located in walking distance from most of Reykjavik, was clean, well looked after and had everything we needed for a great short stay in Iceland. We were two couples and one 11 year old and everybody fit with plenty of room. The host was very responsive both before and during our visit and normally responded within an hour. Very happy and if we come back to Reykjavik, we will book again!

Great location, terrible beds
The best thing, by far, about the property is the location. An easy walk to museums, cafes and tourist sites, Moon Cottage is ideally situated for a Reykjavik visit. But, and it is a big BUT, the property is smaller than it appears from online photos and every movement can be heard through the thin walls. The bedrooms are up a very steep flight of stairs but the climb is barely worth it. I have not slept in beds this bad since my student days and three of our party left with aching backs. The fourth person was ok but only because they checked out on the first night and move to a nearby hotel. The listing claims to sleep six but the downstairs sofa bed has a mattress so thin that a better night would be spent sleeping on corrugated iron. The house is well-stocked, the host accessible and friendly but neither of those things overcame the awfulness of those beds.

Lovely house in excellent location!
The house was nice and comfortable and clean. Communication with Bjorn throughout the booking and during our stay was easy with quick responses. Everything that was needed was provided in the house, except a dryer...the house has a washing machine, but no dryer. Fortunately, the heated towel drying racks (there are 2) worked well for drying our clothes. The location is perfect- easy walking distance to the center of Reykjavik. We had a car and easily found parking on the street in front of the house without difficulty (one time had to circle around the block a few times until a spot opened). The neighborhood was quiet with a few of the "Cats of Reykjavik" hanging around occasionally! Highly recommend this location!
