Central Reykjavik, Reykjavik. Apartment, in the mountains
The apartment has a private, unshared entrance from the street and is set back a bit on the ground floor. Several excellent restaurants are nearby, as are stores where everyday provisions for cooking at home can be purchased. Be sure to walk to the flea market downtown on weekends, where an array of smoked salmon, gravlax, caviar, sausages, and even horse meat can be purchased.
The apartment itself is very quiet, though it is just a few blocks away from the energy of Reykjavik culture and nightlife.
The kitchen was renovated in 2005/2006 with a new dishwasher, regrigerator, cooking range, and expanded counter and cabinet spaces.

Reykjavík is often dubbed "the nightlife capital of the north". It is famous for its nightlife during the weekends. Icelanders tend to go out late so bars that look rather quiet can fill up suddenly, usually around midnight on a weekend.
One of the main causes for this is that alcohol is very expensive at bars, so people tend to drink at home before going out. Beer was banned in Iceland until 1 March 1989, but has since become Icelanders' drink of choice. However, like other alcoholic beverages, it is still quite expensive; a pint (actually a half litre) of beer in an Icelandic bar can cost between 350 and 800 Icelandic Króna, or from 4 to 9 Euros. To this end, some people show up late and are already drunk when they arrive at the bars downtown.
There are over 100 different bars and clubs in Reykjavík; most of them are located on Laugavegur and its side streets. It is very common for an establishment that is a café before dinner to turn into a bar in the evening. Closing time is usually around 3-7AM on weekends and 1-3AM during the week.
