Although Preben arrived a little late, this was no issue as it gave us a chance to settle in to our first Danish ale across the street at the cosy cafe on Holbersgade.
His introduction to the apartment and city more than mad up for it. Restaurant suggestions matched and added to a seemingly never ending list of Copenhagen culinary delights. And as we found out, the buttery bakery goods were indeed irresistible.
Preben answered all our questions and made us feel entirely at home, in his home, complete with Bailey Cream tea from A.C. Perch Thehandel and other essentials.
Located within walking (or biking) distance of just about everywhere, from Vesterbro to Østerbro, Nørrebro to Christianshavn the apartment itself is as light and airy as the photos suggest. It is complete with danish design details (the dining table and chairs a particular gem). High ceilings and ample space made it perfect for us family of four. Comfortable beds and the gentle hum of jazz coming through the sonos soundsystem serving to aid our wind down after days out and about in the city. The wet room bathroom is simple, elegant and most importantly WARM UNDERFOOT. Although we didn't use the cooking facilities, the kitchen was well equipped and I would imagine dining in and settling down in front of the titanic tv would have been as lovely as our many meals out.
All in all our stay in Copenhagen was outstanding, made more marvellous by Preben's place. Streamlined comfort, home and hearth (without the superfluous clutter). As it seems the Danish do so well.
