We had a wonderful stay in Sarah and Kraesten's apartment. Their friend Sune was waiting for us with a big smile and warm welcome when we arrived a little later than planned. The apartment is very comfortable and very child friendly. There were lots of toys and a very comfortable bedroom for our 7 year old and a lovely comfy cot for our 2 year old. They also had blackout blinds which is an essential item for us with early risers! Our bedroom was really lovely and again very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and perfectly Danish in that there was a place for everything and everything was in its place.
We found it hard to leave the apartment in the morning as the children were content to play and we (the adults) loved sitting in the sitting room reading and listening to music.
The apartment is located in a great area. It feels vibrant and safe. There are lovely artisan shops and of course the famous Coffee Collective cafe two streets away. A must if you need your daily fix. There is a nice park 2 minutes walk from the front door and the buses into the centre are only 5 minutes away. We had no problems bringing our buggy on the bus and the Danes are very accommodating in this regard. On our visit we went to the Tivoli gardens (magical), the aquarium (amazing), on a canal boat tour, a couple of palaces and the Planetarium and walked all over Copenhagen. We bought a 72 hour Copenhagen Card and this was well worth the money. This was our first time in a city with children and we were a bit apprehensive but it proved to be a great success. For the adults there was beautiful food, great architecture and the joys of participating in children's activities that kept them amused. It is the first holiday in a long time that we have returned from feeling energised rather than needing another holiday. Thank you Sarah and Kraestan for sharing your home with us.
