Summary
Description
Set up in Aurora Lights Retreat, a one-bedroom apartment on Reykjavik's east side, just a short walk from the waterfront and Solfar Sun Voyager sculpture. A self-catering kitchen, a private balcony, and a washer and dryer make it easy to settle in for a few days, and it suits couples or small families exploring the capital.
Location & Nearby
Aurora Lights Retreat sits on Hallgerdargata in Reykjavik's east side, a quiet residential pocket between Laugardalur and the sea. It puts you close to the scenic coastline of the Icelandic capital without downtown prices, and it is an easy walk or short drive into the city center.
You will find grocery stores, gas stations, cafes, and a few restaurants within a short walk of the apartment. A bus stop sits just steps from the front door, useful for reaching downtown Reykjavik or Keflavik International Airport without a rental car.
Laugardalslaug Geothermal Pool, one of Reykjavik's largest swimming pool complexes, is a short walk away, along with the Reykjavik Botanical Garden and a family park in the same valley.
Solfar Sun Voyager Sculpture sits along the shoreline about 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) away, a good stop on an evening walk along the water. Hallgrimskirkja Church is roughly 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) off, easy to reach by bus or on foot if you like a longer walk.
Harpa Concert Hall sits a similar distance along the harbor, with concerts and a glass facade worth seeing at night. Reykjavik Domestic Airport is about a 10-minute drive, useful for a domestic flight or a helicopter tour over the highlands.
Facilities & Amenities
The apartment has one bedroom and sleeps up to four guests, with a sitting area, a dining table, and a flat-screen TV. Parquet floors, simple furniture, and good storage space keep the apartment feeling light and easy to live in during a longer stay.
The bathroom is private, for the sole use of your group, with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet. A hairdryer and fresh towels are provided, along with basic toiletries.
A kitchen with a fridge, stovetop, microwave, and electric kettle lets you cook your own meals instead of eating out every night, and the dining table seats the whole group. A washing machine and dryer come in handy if you are staying more than a couple of nights.
Step out onto the private balcony for fresh air and a look over the quiet residential street below. It is a good spot for a morning coffee before heading out to explore Reykjavik, or for winding down after a long day of sightseeing.
Free Wi-Fi and free parking are included, and the building is non-smoking throughout, with smoke detectors and fire extinguishers on site. Pets are not allowed. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 21:00, and check-out is from 08:00 to 11:00.
