Nikolaj’s place in Vesterbro is amazing — beautifully designed, well placed, in a great building, on a quiet street. Our family of four (kids 6 and 8) stayed here and enjoyed the neighborhood and using Nikolaj’s place as a home base for all of our explorations. The metro is two minutes away and biking from here is incredibly easy. Nikolaj is warm, welcoming, friendly, responsive — everything you could want from a host. The apartment is decorated with both off-beat artistic touches and designer classics throughout. If it looks like it was featured in a design magazine, it because it was! When my wife and I first saw the listing, it struck us as “too good to be true” — who has a place this nice, in this cool of a neighborhood, with three bedrooms? — but, I assure you, it was perfect.
A few disclaimers / notes that might be useful for some guests to know:
- the apartment is on the 3rd floor (“4th” for us Americans), so, it is a walk; but, that’s also how you get so much natural light into all parts of this truly sprawling apartment
- One of the two smaller bedrooms is through the main/primary bedroom. This was great for us as we put our 6-year old there and he could be a bit close. (One could use one of the two living rooms as a third bedroom, I imagine as it has a fold-out couch).
- Copenhagen apartments don’t have blackout curtains, so, bring eye masks (again, the light in this apartment is amazing!)
- There are three supermarkets a block away. A small playground at the end of the block and a larger, awesome one a few blocks away.
- The neighbors in the building are very nice and welcoming.
