Relax
Iceland has geothermal hot springs of water in the ground.
So naturally, we love to use all that hot water to go to pools.
Here you have many hot tubs, saltwater hot tub, steam bath, swimming pool and of course a slip&slide.
Laugardalslaug is one of many pools in the area but probably the most iconic. Bring swimsuit and a towel! (though you can rent it there)
The cost per person is around 1.500 ISK (10 EUR/ 12 USD/ 9 GBP)

Best fish that is caught the same day and more fresh than you could dream of.
This place is also a hidden pearl in Hafnarfjörður, 15 min drive from the apartment, so there are mostly locals there.

Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
"Hopp" electric scooters are epic to get around
If it's not super snowy then I'd download the "Hopp" app and find the nearest electric scooters. They can be parked anywhere (reasonable).
