I had a wonderful 5 week stay at Frank and Marleen’s charming apartment in Vesterbro. They’re excellent hosts. They kindly had some food and beer in the fridge for me so I wouldn't have to go shopping-while-jetlagged after my long flight to Denmark. I was a first-time visitor to Copenhagen, and Frank had nice recommendations for the city and neighborhood. And he was always available if I had a question or problem (like when I plugged too much high-power stuff into one American electrical adapter and blew a fuse – my mistake – and Frank dropped by a few hours later to replace the fuse).

The listing description is accurate. A fully stocked kitchen for cooking, a cozy living area with TV and stereo, and the bedroom area is quiet for sleeping. The place is charming, comfortable, and a unique living space. Plenty of table-space and work-space with good lighting if you have work to do while you're there. The WiFi is speedy and reliable. I loved the sloping ceilings and the balcony overlooking the communal courtyard area is awesome. Perfect place to drink your morning coffee when the weather is pleasant. If you want to rent a bike during your stay, you can keep it behind the building in the courtyard.

I really enjoyed the Vesterbro neighborhood. Vesterbrogade is a busy street with lots of restaurants and shops, and you have a major grocery store less than a 5 minute walk away. The two bus lines that run right outside the apartment building will take you right to the City Center and all the touristy stuff. Walk 20 minutes in the opposite direction and you’ll find the beautiful greenspace of Frederiksberg Gardens, Sondermarken, and the Copenhagen Zoo.

If you’re looking to live like a local during your time in Copenhagen, Frank & Marleen’s apartment is fantastic. I was sad to leave and I hope to come back again.
