I don’t normally write reviews, but too much just didn’t sit right. It had decent reviews and with the Corona regulations constantly changing we waited until last min to book and didn’t have many options. This place was a little out of the way, but except for one bad review from someone who smoked in the apartment it seemed decent.
So lets talk about the cleanliness. I would not describe this place as clean. There wasn’t a real sheet on the bed, when we arrived just a weird cover, which wasn’t an issue because we bring out own sheets. ( I have extremely sensitive skin and I don’t tolerate most cleaning detergents.) We didn’t think anything of it because it wasn’t an issue. My wife normally likes to wipe down the table before dinner at a new place, there was a vinyl table cloth so relative easy to clean, the sponge was filthy afterwards. This was the start of us looking closely at everything. There was food stuck on the dishes, we pulled out to eat our takeout. Then the bathroom door couldn’t close because the wooden floor is warped from water damage. The bathroom has a musty smell to it, we left the window there open to alleviate the smell. The bathroom light is in a weird cutout in the door frame that you can’t access from inside the bathroom. Watch when you turn the water on in the bathroom, its a shower sink weird combo and my wife got sprayed trying to brush her teeth. It’s super annoying trying to arrange the shower curtains so that you don’t get things wet, and then the drain is at a high point so the floor stays wet. At breakfast all of the cooking utensils we tried to use had bits of food or old fat on them. We basically had to wash everything we wanted to use before and after we used it. The Exhaust fan had a lot of nasty fat and dust stuck to it although it is mostly glass and should be easy to clean. I have never seen a water kettle with so much calcium build up. The first thing we bought was at the supermarket was a decalcification solution. Is it really so hard to spend 15DKK to have a clean kettle. The 100 Euro cleaning fee, which I don’t usually mind paying, felt like big slap in the face. If there is a cleaning person (I doubt it), the host should think about finding someone new. Both bedside lamps in the bedroom were busted so no reading at night unless you wanna get up after.
It took a while to write this review because things got hectic for both of us when we returned to work, with new corona regulations and all. Remember that weird cover on the bed, turns out their should have been a sheet. We were accused of stealing said sheet, and have been contacted by Airbnb with a claim for 75 Euros! For a used sheet we never even had. We didn’t want to complain about the small stuff at the time and this is how we’re rewarded.
If you can overlook the cleanliness, the location is nice if it had been warmer weather as its right next to the beach. It’s a short walk to the trains and there is free parking on the street which was great because parking is super expensive in Copenhagen. Not having to worry about keys for checkin was nice with keypad entry. The cleanliness, state of disrepair, and the attitude of the host just really made for a terrible stay. I wouldn’t recommend this host or apartment at all.
