Alette has created a charming oasis in the heart of Nørrebro and staying at her flat was a highlight during our all-too-brief time in Copenhagen — we definitely found ourselves craving a few more days at her place as our trip was drawing to a close. From initial inquiries to checkout, communication with Alette was clear, efficient and effective. All aspects of self check-in were well and reassuringly explained and while Alette was always available when we had questions, such as connecting to wifi and check out procedure (I believe she addresses both of these in info on the Airbnb app, however as I don't have it, she kindly got back to me immediately, which was really appreciated), she very thoughtfully left us to enjoy her apartment as though it were our own. We felt welcome even before we arrived.
The apartment itself is as beautiful as it appears in pictures and is, perhaps, even more charming in person. It is quiet and light-filled. It is spacious and well equipped. The kitchen and dining area is particularly delightful with its two balconies overlooking a private green courtyard; it felt like living in a treehouse and we really enjoyed having our tea and coffee there in the morning with the doors open, listening to the bird song — we even had a bird sit join us on a patio chair one morning.
The privacy of the apartment was an unexpected and pleasant surprise: though it is right in Nørrebro, an upscale and lively neighbourhood with great cafés, wine bars and many shops right near the water and an easy walk from Nørreport (fast train service to the airport) and Torvehallerne (a great market hall with fresh produce and food stalls from some of the city's greats), its location away from the street and within a private courtyard means that it is a calm, relaxing and quiet spot to retreat to after busy days roaming the city. The complex itself is beautiful, clean and well maintained. In the area we especially enjoyed brunch at Mirabelle and walking through Assistens. We would love to comeback and try other restaurants and cafés in the area. From the apartment, it was a nice (and very worthwhile) walk to Juno, the renowned bakery.
On a practical note, the bed and sofa were very comfortable and provided great night sleeps, and the apartment an easy place to rest. A little noise can be heard through the shared wall in the living room from the next apartment, but this was very infrequent and not disruptive (and I say that as a light sleeper). Overall, the building is deliciously quiet and we slept very well.
Alette, thank you and your daughter for sharing your wonderful apartment with us. We had such a great and restful stay and loved calling your flat our home for a few nights. We look forward to returning to your city and apartment and hope to meet you next visit!
