    Best Hosts and Lovely Apartment in Reykjavik (Quarantine, or not)
    Stumbled upon this gem of an apartment for my quarantine stay in Reykjavik. They offered a quarantine price unlike the other apartments I’ve looked at, it’s an amazing deal! The lovely hosts were very kind and checked in with us through our quarantine and even allowed us late check-out (no charges) during the day as we had a late afternoon flight to catch. Shared with a friend, we each had a cozy double-bed bedroom, there was a bathtub and spacious living room. The kitchen was well-equipped for basic meals and also basic cooking items such as oil, salt, sugar, tea and coffee etc. Bathroom had necessities such as hairdryer, clothes drying rack, soap, shampoo. It’s a stone’s throw away to the water, location makes it easy to walk around the city and the local bus stop is right outside. Very accessible and convenient. I will definitely come back and recommend this place to friends and family :)

    Family Iceland vacation the week of Christmas 2019.
    My wife and teenage daughters visited Reykjavik Iceland the week of Christmas in late December 2019 and stayed at the Old Charm Reykjavik Apartments. The location of this property is ideal and made walking around the city to explore very convenient. We loved walking around and finding several of the Yule Lads projected on various buildings throughout the city. Our host, Steinunn, was amazing, she was very helpful with all my many questions and assisted me in organizing transportation to and from the airport. The property is very nicely furnished with everything you need for cooking your own meals. However, it can be a bit noisy at times due to cars or buses driving by or people walking by and talking. We simply wore earplugs to bed at night and didn't have any problems sleeping. My wife and I would love to come back for another visit to explore this amazing country and would definitely recommend this property!

    Highly recommended place in Reykjavik!
    We had a great stay at Old Charm. We stayed in the "Two Bedroom Apartment with Balcony – Green House". For Iceland, it was a good price, and the place was huge, really a full apartment. We were two people but a third could have stayed with us no problem. The bed was comfortable, the shower warm (use the small shower head for more water pressure). The bathroom has a place to hang towels that warms them, which is really nice. There is a full kitchen with a big fridge and lots of cooking things that we didn't use except the electric kettle. There is a balcony with a table and chairs, which is always nice. The owners are very nice, and vaccinated, and if you go into their office they will mask if you are masked. Midway through our stay they gave us fresh towels and washed the dishes we'd not washed yet. The place is convenient to everything, including two bus stops (6 and 14) for tour and airport buses. The only "con", which in no way reduces our satisfaction with our stay, was that the place is in fact old (it's not just a name) so there were things like steep, worn stairs (definitely not an accessible room) and a balcony door with no doorstop so it swung in the wind (it had no door handle on the outside so you couldn't close it). But I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. Small things to know: they require that you take your shoes off at the bottom of the stairs, and they provide slippers for you to wear in the apartment. As someone with cold feet, it was plenty warm so that was no problem (and you can actually adjust the heat yourself in each room). There is no recycling bin so you just leave that on the table and they'll collect it. The garbage bin is under the sink and you can bring it when it's full to the backyard where there are two big bins. Enjoy your trip - you won't regret staying at Old Charm.

These apartments are fantastic! They are pretty, charming, clean, bright, right amount of space, in a great location, and fun to be in a restored historic building. Check-in was straight forward and simple, the owner was responsive. We loved everything about our 2-night stay here.

The apartment is very comfortable and beautiful. Right in the center of Rek you can walk to the peatonal area in a minute and have all amenities at hand. The apt had also a driveway were it was easy to park. A fully equipped kitchen is available to prepare meals, beds are comfortable. Overall a great choice

Had a really nice stay - great flat, very conveniently located for town centre, shops, restaurants etc. Added benefit of off road parking which worked really well when picking up a car from the airport and coming into Rejkyavik. Would highly recommend !

Location was great! Enough space for six people. Kitchen was well equiped. Some noise from outside and inside (old wooden house, thin windows) but this can be managed with ear blugs. Only one toilet & shower. Communication with owner was smooth and we were able to store our luggage after check-out. Nice stay!

Historic dwelling in the center of Reykjavík with terrific walkability. Free parking was well appreciated and Rental was clean and we loved the slippers. Beds were comfortable but could use more pillows. Would have been excellent rating except for noise level - with the midnight Sun people walk about all hours of the night and traffic continues as well. We were not aware of this - but would have been good to know for preparation (ear plugs). Lastly and this is just a small thing - checkout was before 11 am. We left to get breakfast and our car was still parked in the driveway, when we got back at 10 a.m. the owners were already cleaning the unit and it was quite awkward as we needed to use the restroom prior to leaving for the airport and checkout was still an hour away.

This spacious apartment is in a great location - across the street from restaurants and one street away from the main shopping street. Plus easy to walk all the way to the wharf (whale watching boats) and throughout town. Having parking was a huge plus (it's a small gravel lot behind the building with one space per apartment - it would be a tight fit if all 4 spaces were full at the same time but for us that never happened).

Such an incredibly cute and clean place with loads of charm, very well outfitted, right in downtown Reykjavík (and right downtown where you want to be, close to pedestrian street and other sites). Host was very responsive to all inquiries (beforehand and during). Parking can be tricky (we had no issues in the end), but you can't expect any differently in a capital city.

This apartment is in the best location, parallel to the main shopping street in Reykjavík and close to the harbour. The bedrooms and living area are very spacious and the place was spotless. Would definitely go back.
