“Reykjavik Residence distinguishes itself with apartment-style lodging spread across several historical buildings, offering a more immersive, neighborhood-like experience. The daily delivery of fresh bread from a local bakery feels particularly thoughtful, as does the option for pre-arranged airport transfers. I especially appreciate the fully-equipped kitchens, enabling longer, self-catered stays, ideal for families or extended visits to Reykjavik.”
