If the location of Mathiaes' apartment - right in the heart of the festively lit streets of Copenhagen - was all that it had going for it, it would be enough. I was there for a week to experience the Christmas season in the city and everything - shops, markets, restaurants, theatres plus a central metro station - were right at my doorstep. But the apartment is an incredibly cozy place too, with loads of personality. It was a great place to experience the famous Danish concept of 'Hygge' in the darkness of winter. Everything I could need was provided and Mathiaes and his family made me feel most welcome.
