Neighbourhood
The neigbourhood is one of the most popular and family-friendly in the city. It's in central Reykjavík, close to the downtown core (around 15 mins walk through a very nice older residential area) with its restaurants, cafés and shops but very quiet and peaceful.
The neighbourhood is bordered on two sides by the sea. Both are only around 5 minutes walk from the apartment. There are walking/cycling paths alongside the sea. On a good day, looking across the sea, you'll see Snæfellsjökull glacier on the north side and Reykjanes peninsula on the south side.
The Reykjavík Art Museum, The National Gallery of Iceland and The National Museum of Iceland are all within walking distance (the first two around 15-20 mins and the third around 10-15 mins).
There's also a cinema, two very nice outdoor pools (geothermally heated and warm all year round, both with multiple hot jacuzzis), cafés, two bakeries, a yoga studio and a small 'corner shop' (around 5 mins walk from the house) that has fresh fish&meat, sells just about everything you might need to cook and has excellent service. Larger supermarkets are within easy walking distance.
3 bus routes stop near the house, taking you around the west side of Reykjavik and Seltjarnarnes, downtown, to all the places mentioned above and connecting you with the rest of the bus system taking you to the neighbouring communities.
Reykjavík's two largest theaters (The Reykjavik City Theatre and The Icelandic National Theater) are both easily accessible by bus. The same bus route goes to both and it stops around 5 mins walk from the house.
The restaurants, cafés, nightlife, museums and shopping of downtown Reykjavík are easily accessible - especially during the summer, when its bright 24/7 and you can easily walk everywhere.
Nearest airport
Keflavík airport - the international airport in Iceland.
Getting around
Supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, museums etc within easy walking distance. There are also a few bus stops, 2-5 min walk from the house, for anything further afield.
