First of all, I'm so glad you are considering visiting Iceland. You are going to LOVE IT. And, since you've stopped by here, you are also researching the Embassy Apartments, and if apartment living is your style, you should just book it and not think twice!
We stayed 5 nights in apartment 138 over New Years. There were four adults and a 10 month old. Our email communication with Ingibergur was prompt and helpful, and the price of the apartment was completely reasonable! They provided us with a crib and high chair, and the apartment was cleaned every day except the holiday (which we were told, and were completely fine with as they left extra towels).
Check-in was very straight forward. We emailed the day before and was told that we could check in early as the apartment was vacant (this was a huge blessing, as we were tired travelers!). Simply buzz the intercom and you are let in to find your keys in the small foyer.
The location is PERFECT. It's super close to all of the restaurants and shops in the center of town, but it's on a quiet side street just far away from the melee. Street parking is relatively easy. Our apartment was huge, with many couches, a large dining room table, one regular size bedroom and one large bedroom. The kitchen was small but nicely stocked with everything we needed, and the bathroom was just big enough, with a shower (no bathtub). The beds were a bit soft, but we were so tired, quite frankly we didn't care!
The internet was free and reliable, the TV had english stations, and the only suggestion I have for improvement is more waste bins. I would not hesitate to recommend the Embassy Apartments to anyone!
Room Tip: Every apartment seems to have its own character - 138 was wonderful!
