Parks & Nature
For hiking the most obvious (but also the far best) option for you would be Mt. Esja which is located just east of Reykjavík. It is the big mountain that you can see behind the Reykjavík skyline. You can go there by bus (Route 15 from „Hlemmur“ bus station near the apartment, and change to route 57 in „Háholt“ in Mosfellsbær to the foot of the mountain).

Entertainment & Activities
What you absolutely must do in Reykjavík (and as often as you can when you drive around the country) is go swimming. That is something Icelanders do a lot. There is a swimming pool near the apartment (5 minutes walking distance).

Essentials
Bónus
The cheapest supermarket in Iceland. Shop there for the best price.
Supermarket open 24/7. It is much more expensive than the larger supermarkets but is convenient for buying essentials when everything else is closed.
