    The location is fantastic. Its only a block away from some great restaurants shopping and local spots. Fair warning must be given. If you get into the super comfy bed that is tucked away you may not want to get out. This place is definitely the best spot to stay when in Reykjavik.

    Will definitely come back to this house whenever I travel to Iceland
    It was a beautiful experience to stay in this Icelandic house and the chance to use the car added a lot of value to our stay, we explored many sites outside the city. The decoration inside the house is amazing and the kids loved it! The house is very well equipped and it has everything you might need. The host was very friendly also.

    Could not ask for better accommodations in Reykjavik!
    The location could not be better; within walking distance to great restaurants and sites. The included car allowed us to take day trips at our own pace. Margret was lovely and greeted us with keys, details and recommendations. She treated us to delicious baked goods from a favorite bakery, fruit, bread, cheese, wine and beer. It was enough to feed a family of four for two breakfasts! I would recommend Vaktahouse to anyone traveling to Iceland.
    I loved this characteristic and so did my daughters, ages 7 and 9. However, my husband is 64 and found the cozy upstairs a little too cozy. Just a heads up for you taller travelers.

    A magical place!
    The property is beautiful. The attention to detail is better than we could've imagined. Local artisans' work can be seen in every inch from the dishes to the textiles. Margret is a very kind and gracious host. I had a lot of questions and Margret was always quick to respond and oh-so helpful. My family arrived on my son's 11th birthday and Margret helped organize delivery of a delicious cake from a local bakery. There were also pastries and assorted beverages, cheese, milk, etc. so that when we arrived very jet-lagged, we could focus on resting and refueling. Vakta house is a magical place!

    a fairy tale
    Margarets House was our home for a few nights. The house has a lot of charm. I felt like I was in a Swiss chalet or in a fairy tale. Only the snow was missing. The rooms are small but very intelligently furnished, so that you can stay there comfortably even as a small family. The kitchen has everything you need and is well thought out (that's not always a given). We missed nothing, and I had to laugh when I even found a salad spinner there....perfect. This is for me one of the most important items of daily use. Margaret also spoiled us with very nice little surprises in the fridge. In generall I had the impression that Margaret is a person that wants her guests to be well. Thank you Margaret we will be back.

    If you searching for an totally unique place then you can stop search now. Location is excellent. The host Margret is excellent. The house is on of a kind. If you also consider that you have access to the car then even the price is excellent. Just go there and you will understand.

    Best rental property I have ever stayed at! Excellent value!
    Vaktahouse is the best rental experience I have ever had. Vakta is an adorable little cottage right in the center of Reykjavik - we could basically walk everywhere in the city. Margret is super helpful and goes to great lengths to ensure an excellent experience for guests, from a list of restaurant recommendations to a bottle of wine and fresh bread on the table when we walked in. We were four 20-something friends who spent most of our time out exploring, so for us the amount of space was perfect. The car was an added bonus too, and was great for our day trips to blue lagoon & the golden circle. Overall, we are so happy we stumbled upon this little place and I would strongly recommend to family and friends!

    Not a negative - just an fyi that the beds (1 queen, 2 twins) are upstairs in a loft - accessible with some narrow/steep stairs. Perfect for single 20-somethings but perhaps less ideal for older individuals or people with disabilities.
