In the historic center where Reykjavík City‘s old heart beats there is a unique old house that used to be called Aberdeen.
The house is owned by a family of artists who have left their mark on every detail of the house. The style of the house is an interesting fusion of Scandinavian wooden old style from before the year 1900 and a modern raw artistic touch.
The location is fantastic, with a view over the streets of the old town, surrounded by museums, galleries, cafés, restaurants and the old harbour.
If you are into the unusual and want to experience an artistic side of Reykjavík, then this is your place.
Practicalities:
- This is a whole apartment (60sqm), which is ideal for a couple.

- Complimentary toiletries.
- The house is warm and cosy and full of home made art.

- This is one of Reykjavík's oldest wooden houses and is located so centrally that there may naturally be some noises from the city's street life.

Summary: This charming, historic home was just perfect! Very well appointed, decorated with lovely artwork, comfortable bed and perfectly located in old town of Reykjavik with all the restaurants and shops you could want on your doorstep or within easy walking distance. Parking right outside too is super handy! Elsa was a lovely host and very responsive. If it's available for your visit, just book it... We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
