Recycled House — Attraction in Reykjavik

Stayed here 03/2023. Absolutely worth it! Host/hostess were genuine, kind and entertaining. The owner is an Icelandic writer/director that won awards for his Viking films in the 80’s. He even gave my husband a signed DVD as a growing away host gift. You’ll find there’s a story behind every item you find in the property. They even posed for some photos with us. We spent time driving around looking for the Northern Lights with no luck. Walking back to our Airbnb we looked up and saw them right about our heads. We not only watched them in the sky, you’re just far enough away from the city you could see their reflection in the ocean right in front of you. We were lucky enough to see them all but one night we visited. Don’t let other comments stating that you may see others walking by it as it’s near public areas stop you from booking. We only saw one or two people and they are not actually close to your cabin. My husband was able to shower outdoors all while watching the Northern lights. (open the huge door in the shower to expose the outside and shower in nature.) The heated floors, kitchenette and cozy feeling were more than enough for our week in Iceland. Just a 5-10 minutes ride by car or 10 minutes by bike along the ocean. It doesn’t get better than this. We can’t wait to go back to Iceland. We will definitely stay here again. Here’s some photos from on the property. This may not be here forever, book...

Cannot give enough stars! We were lucky enough to stay in the Airbnb guesthouse for a few days a very, very beautifully weird artistic spot a nice little 30min walk from downtown Reykjavik.

The owner, and famed classic Viking filmmaker, Hrafn Gunnlaugsson, and his lovely wife Yaira, were amazing hosts — and we were very lucky to meet Hrafn in person, who was very, very kind and welcoming.

The many little altars to the Old Gods of Norse Mythology are very cool, and experienced in a very unique way here. Definitely make a visit while in town, but be respectful of the property as it is both a home and an...

To be honest, I guess its artistic, but it comes close to just being a junk pile. I had time on my walk into town so this was an interesting diversion, but at the same time it was a bit like a train wreck where you just cant look away. I was a bit confused as to whether or not it was private property or open to wander around but the signage suggested access was possible. I did not try and brave the interior although in now reading about it, I guess you can enter if you want. Is it art??? I have to admit there were a few aspects I did kind of like - the boat, the deck area. A bit of a...
