Carsten wasn't around when I arrived, but he arranged for a friend to meet me and let me in. His friend showed me around the place, gave me a map and oriented me in the city, and sat down and had a beer with me. I definitely felt very welcomed at his place. Of course I soon met Carsten and he's extremely friendly and considerate, and a great host. He lent me his bicycle, which was the best way to get around the city. I was also able to use his washer to wash my clothes.

The apartment itself is quite clean and (without having been to other apartments in Copenhagen) I would say rather spacious by European standards. The rental room is actually a bedroom plus an adjacent private living area, so pretty huge. The location was also great, it's on the border between two interesting neighborhoods (Nørrebro and Frederiksberg), right near to a former canal (now kind of a long segmented pond) that is perfect for running by, and a short bike ride to downtown.

There are only two cautionary aspects that I would note. 1 - the precise location is at the corner of two streets with a moderate amount of auto traffic. It wasn't noisy at night, but I didn't feel like the air was quite as fresh as on some other blocks. I'm a bit sensitive so probably most people would not be bothered. And 2 - the mattress was quite firm, so best if you like firm beds!
