we are excited to offer exchange students to rent our listing To get to the university you take bus number 1 from Hamraborg bust station (5 minutes walk from the listing) - it takes around 10 minutes with the bus from Hamraborg to the University - there is also a nice bike road to the university by the sea shore It is very easy to take both the flybus to Hamraborg from the airport (7 minutes walking distance from the apartment) and also to take the bus downtown or take an electric bike (Hopp) along the seashore to downtown :) The apartment is part of our house but it has a private entrance. Large windows facing south with scenic and pristine view of the mountains Bláfjöll, Helgafell and more. The apartment is divided into living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen/entrance. We have decorated the apartment with photos that I have taken of Icelandic nature, hope you like them! (hidden)...

- Select your dates to check availability.
- Click Apply to rent.
- Fill in a quick rental application and send an intro message.
- Add your supporting documents and payment details to pre-authorize a potential payment.

At HousingAnywhere, in-person viewings are not supported — so everyone has an equal chance to rent, no matter where you are in the world. To help you make an informed decision, we recommend:
- Messaging the landlord on HousingAnywhere to ask any questions.
- Requesting more photos, video tours, or floor plans.
- Read up on Tenant Protection to learn how you’re covered if something goes wrong.
Use the ‘Message landlord’ button to start a secure conversation on our platform. You can ask questions, discuss terms, and safely exchange documents.
Keeping your conversation on HousingAnywhere protects your privacy and helps you avoid scams. All your messages are also saved in one place for easy access and as a record of your agreements.
Once your rental is confirmed, we’ll share the landlord’s contact info so you can arrange your move-in.
Tenant Protection is our service to help you rent with peace of mind. We hold all payments you make through our platform before move-in, including the first month's rent and any deposit. After you arrive, you have 48 hours to check that the place is as you expected. We only send your money to the landlord if everything is okay.
