房源位置

The house is located in a nice area next to Reykjavik’s major sports and recreation center the green valley called Laugardalur (Laug means hot spring and dalur means valley).
This neighbourhood is very central in the Reykjavik area so everything is quite easily accessible whether it is city centre the shopping malls or ways out of the city.
Next to the house just two houses and around the corner to the right is the grocery shop which is known to have the longest opening hours during Christmas. There is a nice bakery/coffee house called Passion with everything prepared and baked on location. They offer free WiFi and organic coffee and people come from far away for their sourdough bread. There is an Icecream store called Huppa with wonderful real dairy icecream, my favorite is a mix with real expresso and strawberries in it. There is a beauty parlour, a Thai restaurant that specialises in Pad-Thai and a craft store Farvi, specialising in print work and art, selling unique souvenirs.
Glæsibær shopping Center is only 7 minutes walk further away It was the first attempt to a mall in Iceland and has nice shops a health clinic a pharmacy, a geeky store called Nexus offering everything related to board games, roleplay games and sci-fi and various courses on the subjects. There is an optic store called Sjón selling various quality designs of glasses and shades, even retro frames from the sixties and eighties, there is a mini market, a pub with screens to watch sports events, my favourite sushi restaurant called Tokyo and a health restaurant called Saffran.
A little further is Skeifan, industrial area with all sorts of shops, markets and services, the most popular being the sportswear shop called 66*north with Icelandic outdoor clothing. My favourite place in Skeifan is YogaShala the best yoga room in town with wonderful view in three directions. There is also Spilavinir a great game store with a coffee shop where you can play board games with your friends and kids.
The Laugardalur valley itself is only a few minutes walk away and one doesn’t even have to cross a street to get there. The valley has a botanical garden that is free entrance, a petting zoo with Icelandic house animals and a family park and an ice-skating hall. There are two gyms in the valley Hreyfing and WorldClass. There is an out and -indoor swimmingpool called Laugardalslaug with many hot tubs in various temperatures and my favourite one with heated seawater. It is always so rejuvenating to go to the pool, especially in the winter, just soaking in the warm water with the chilling air around you, or even a snowflake on your head.
Wishing you the best of times

Bus no 14 stops just outside the house and also across the street running every 10 to 15 minutes down town and to Kringlan the main mall. The street Langholtsvegur, where the house stands is easily connected to all main highways by car and the city is easy to drive around with possible exceptions at the busiest hours. There are many walking paths and cycling paths along the location that lead you around the city and it’s treasures.
