Despite arriving at 1am we were greeted by Juliette who had provided us with provisions sufficient to get our holiday started. A clean, well- maintained flat with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Good sized bedrooms and plenty of wardrobe space sufficient for 4 adults. Homely furnishings and entertainment gadgets to keep adults and children amused should you choose to stay in. Kitchen with all mod cons (except washing machine & only fridge box freezer section) and with the nearest supermarket a stone's throw away (open till 11.30pm) cooking- in is easy. However, due to a selection of good restaurants (Italia & Curosco's very good) within 10mins walk we ate out most of the time. Shopping streets & city sights within a few mins. walk ( enough for 2-3days without the need for a car). There is more to Iceland than Reykjavik and in our 5days we drove to geysirs, waterfalls, blue lagoon, black beach (near Vik), whale watching & glaciers. We hired a 4WD and found driving quite easy (roads are not busy by UK standards even in the city) unless a blizzard blew up or there was too much ice). The highlight was our drive on to the glacier which can only be reached by super jeep (we used IcelandonTour). Our driver was very knowledgeable ( showed us lots of local sights), great fun (even when he had to dig us out) & spoke good English (highly recommend). Would recommend this flat & holiday. Could not fault anything. However, depending on the disability, this flat would be inaccessible (due to steps to front door) and Reykjavik is hilly. Many sights would be difficult for wheelchairs also.
