Neighbourhood

The apartment is situated in a quiet neighborhood with a blend of apartment buildings, townhouses and villas. Lots of walking and cycling paths lead to hidden playgrounds and green areas. Nearby there is a small shopping and service center called Mjóddin where you can find a cinema, pharmacy, supermarket, post office, bakery, flower-shop and some fast-food options. It also has a bus terminal with good connections to all areas in the city and other parts of Iceland as well. Because of this the restaurants, cafés, nightlife, museums and shopping of downtown Reykjavík are easily accessible even though the neighbourhood is far from downtown. If you are interested in shopping there is a shopping mall, Smaralind, only 2 km away. Nearby there are severeal wonderful outdoor areas, some within walking distance and others within easy cycling/driving distance. I also recommend you try out the two very nice outdoor pools that are in the area (geothermally heated and warm all year round, both with multiple hot jacuzzis).

Nearest airport

The international airport is 40-60 minutes away. The domestic airport is 15 minutes away.

Getting around

Easy access by bus; routes 2, 12 and 4 stop close by and connect to the bus terminal in the service center in Mjodd. Bus nr. 2 takes you to Kringlan shopping center. Bus nr. 12 takes you to the city center (e.g. stops outside Harpa Reykjavík concert hall) in 20 minutes. Bus nr 2 will take you to Smaralind (nearest and largest shopping center) in 15 minutes.

Looking to spend our globes! We love PLU and exchanging, but unfortunately it's hard for us to exchange our home now since our young adults need some serious convincing to travel with us. To further complicate matters they don't want to leave the house when we travel. This is full on mutiny!!! What to do??? Well, we have three globes that we are willing to use while we suffer through this period :) Please tempt us! We are open to everything, but our focus is mostly on Europe, Scandinavia, and not too warm places. Gerda turns 50 in November and we could be tempted to go for a long weekend somewhere nice then. If you long for a simultaneous exchanges (no globes) you will have to tempt the young people in our house!! :) They are all for a dream house in a warm and exotic location preferably with a pool. Due to work and other commitments we can only travel 1-2 x per year. We are Gerda (49) and Bjarni (56). Gerda is a quality manager, and Bjarni works in construction. We promise to take very good care of your home in your absence and we will try and leave it as good, or sometimes even better than you left it, and of course, hope for the same from any exchange.
