What you will love about this home
PLEASE NOTE:
- we will need to swap with a home with at least 3 bedrooms and we do need some space and adult size beds for everyone.
- unfortunately, I am extremely allergic to cats and dogs, so please do not offer us pet homes as an exchange.
Our home is situated by the valley between Kópavogur and Reykjavík and only 10 minute's drive from Reykjavík city center. In the valley, there are running/biking trails and lots of playgrounds in the neighborhood.
On the main floor, there is a laundry complete with a washing machine and dryer, a small bathroom, a big living room with a sofa, TV, and dining table.
From the living room, there is a door leading to the garden where there is a small deck and lots of space for kids to play. On this floor, we also have a large kitchen renovated in 2014 and fully equipped with all appliances you can ever wish for :)
On the second floor, there are three bedrooms. We have two single beds and one double, as well as a sofa that can be put up as a double sofa bed. On the same floor, there is a newly renovated bathroom with a shower and bath.
In the basement, there is a bedroom with a 140 cm bed. The room is spacious but the window is quite small although it lets in plenty of air :)
There we also have a music room with a drum set and a piano, along with a desk and storage. From the basement, you can enter the garage, and outside the garage we have 2 parking spaces.
We have 5 bikes to lend you and would greatly prefer to swap cars since we are a very active family and like to explore and go sightseeing as much as we can.

What you will love about this neighborhood
Our home is in the so called Greater Reykjavík Area wich consists of Reykjavík and it's six surrounding towns, being more like suburbs of Reykjavík since it is a small city.
Our town is the second biggest town of Iceland, Kópavogur and our home is very well situated on the borders of Kópavogur and capital Reykjavík, only separated by a green and lovely valley just below our house. In the valley there is a big sports complex, playgrounds, duck ponds, cycling and walking trails.
These trails lead to the nearby green valley of Elliðaárdalur where we have a beautiful salmon river inside Reykjavík, a small forest, and a perfect place for a picnic. If you take the trails leading west you end up at Nauthólsvík beach, an ideal place to relax and play for families with children (see photos) Close by the beach is the Pearl and a beautiful forested area as well.
There is also a path that you can take from our house to the fabulous Sky Lagoon (age limit 12) only about 20 minutes by bicycle. Our former exchange families have been really happy using these effective and good cycling trails.
Several supermarkets, good bakeries, 2 excellent fish stores and a wine store are only minutes away, along with only 5 minutes drive to both the biggest malls and 10 minutes to the city center.
I included photos of some of the natural pearls of Iceland, most of which I took myself on my many travels around my beloved island.
