“We swapped for two weeks in august with this warm, happy family and felt very at easy in their comfortable home, whose location to the city centre is very convenient. Their house is also well located to get fast to the highway and visit the country. They left us such lovely presents for the girls to welcome us, we're flexible with the dates and solved very quickly any small problem we might encounter during our stay. They took very good care of our house and car and were very easy to communicate with. We were glad to have been able to meet them in the airport on the way in and back! I would recommend them for any future swap without hesitation.”

About our home
Small, modern and very charming private house in center of Reykjavik (two floors, 160 m2). On the first floor there is a living room, open kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a laundry. On the second floor there are two large bedrooms and one small one. The house was fully renovated in 2013. Nice closed patio (with Weber gas grill and garden furniture) and a big yard (with a huge trampoline in summer). Walking distance to outdoor activities, shopping and restaurants. Major highways in easy access. We have bikes and camping gear available. Kids friendly, plenty of toys.
Reykjavik has a lot to offer for sports and leisure, see some ideas at http://reykjavik.is/en/cycle-paths. Our neighborhood is supported by beautiful cycle paths (5 min cycle to Ellidadal (large wooded area with wild salmon river, 10 min cycle to Nautholsvik (the "beach" in Reykjavik). Then of course swimming is our national public sport (that is what the locals do), with numerous public swimming pools (warm) in Reykjavik and in the neighboring towns. For information on Reykjavik, visit for instance http://www.visitreykjavik.is/city/tourist-information-centre. For tourism in Iceland in general, the country has been one of the most popular tourist attraction in the world in recent years. We will do our best to guide you to the places fitted for your visit :) For some ideas, see for instance http://www.visiticeland.com/
