The house has been completely renovated with tasteful loyalty to its original design and influence from the era its built in and the heritage of the people that built it. All spaces have different colours that are neatly toned in harmony but create a playful touch of the fifties. The floor is set with light oak and marble tiles. The decor is a mix of paintings from some of the old Icelandic artists, mandalas from Nepal, antiques from China and other more modern artists and stuff that pleases the eye.

The Laugardalur area, postcode 104 Reykjavík is one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Reykjavik. It offers a great variety of services within walking range and boasts a positive vibe and a friendly culture nurtured by the proximity to the Laugardalur valley with all it’s nature, art and recreational possibilities. It is a quiet neighbourhood but conveniently close to the Reykjavík city centre and all the main business districts without being completely congested with traffic. The neighbourhood is family oriented and offers lots of activities and recreational options but not the nightlife, the touristic shops and restaurants that fill the centre. Still there is the local pub for watching the game and many restaurants to enjoy.
