Malene’s apartment in Østerbro is magnificent and convenient. It provides a great base for exploring Copenhagen. The rooms are large with high (and beautiful) ceilings. The furnishings are both elegant and comfortable. The beds are comfortable with high quality bedding. There are at least two types of Airbnb places … One type is an apartment that was purchased and is furnished exclusively as an “Airbnb place”. The other type is somebody’s home, where they have “just moved out and lent you their place”. Malene’s apartment is clearly the family home. The family does an absolutely amazing job of packing all their belongings away. The place is spotless, with no “clutter” of family items. A single bin within the large fridge is packed with their food. The entire rest of the large fridge is completely empty … and is also spotless. The closets, however, are all packed with clothes. This means that you must “live out of your suitcase”. There is a super bakery directly across the street and several supermarkets within half a kilometer. The enormous kitchen houses enough cooking and eating gear to feed a dozen people or more. The person who designed this apartment prioritized elegance and in a couple of small ways they sacrificed (in my opinion) practicality and convenience. One example is the bathroom. This was built as a “semi-wet-room”… there is no door on the shower. In practice, we found it impossible to take a shower without flooding the entire bathroom floor. The floor does not “self-drain”. There is a raised tiled threshold inside the bathroom door. The hosts ask you not to wear shoes in the apartment. So the first few times that you enter or leave the bathroom, you will stub your toes. The location of the apartment is great. It is 300 meters to the Trianglen Metro stop. The nearby lakes provide a beautiful alternative route, if you feel like walking into town. In almost all respects, this apartment outclasses most “very good” Airbnb places we have visited. Communication was excellent. The hosts could not be here themselves to welcome us … so they arranged for their daughter to greet us instead.
