Luxury apartment near Reykjavik with beautiful ocean view
This is a modern apartment in a quiet neighbourhood by the coast with a wonderful view across the waters to the iconic glacier Snaefellsjokull and Bessastadir (the President’s mansion). It is beautifully designed, well-equipped, with a nice balcony and conveniently located for visitors to Reykjavik and farther afield.
The contemporary, open-plan living space encompasses a kitchen, lounge and dining area with stunning views across the ocean. There are two peaceful bedrooms, one with a 160 cm bed, and the other with a 140 cm bed. The bathroom has spacious jacuzzi, ideal for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing.
The balcony, facing south-west, has a sliding glass enclosure that can be opened and closed upon convenience, and a large barbeque.
I am open to an exchange in the winter of 2023/2024 and in 2024. I have not indicated which countries as I am open to most.
Note: Already booked in July, August and the first two weeks of September 2023.

HR53143It was a lovely and educational experience. I had a very productive communication with Elisabet, who is a meticulous and analytical person, therefore, various useful information about the house, appliances, weather, roads, neighbours, restaurants etc. was provided well in advance of the travel. Elisabet's home is accurately represented on the site and all worked out perfectly! Her home is very cosy and I really enjoyed my stay.
