When you go to a perfect place the first thing you notice are the faults. So let’s start there. There are only two faults with this place and it has to do with the bedrooms.
1.There are no blinds on the massive ceiling to floor windows and this means when the sun rises high in the morning by 7:15am (we were there in summer) you can forget about sleeping. The sun rays literally kick your eye lids open. Even if you use sleeping masks the heat of the direct sunlight blasting against your body kicks you out of bed.
2.The second bedroom does not have a bed but had a sofa thing that looks bloody awful and feels hard to the touch. It would have been perfect to have a bed in there as neither of us wanted to sleep like a student on the sofa bed that pulls out onto the floor.
That said, let’s get on with the rest of the flat. Perfection. The flat is only a 12 min taxi drive away from the airport and yet not far from the city centre. You also feel your items are safe and secure here in this oasis of calm. The flat is on the first floor but that does not compromise it on the views you get. In fact the views are better from there than from the roof terrace on the 11th floor which you have access to. The host Camilla is much kinder in person than her profile pic suggests. She is very warm and welcoming. In the fridge she left us wine, beer and fruit juice. When we asked for more pillows as the ones there were really too flat she responded immediately. Access to the city is easy. You have two buses (30 and 14) that go into the city with the 30 stopping outside Tivoli gardens. From the house you can take the river boat and like the bus stop it’s just a 3-4 min walk from the flat. The boat is an utterly brilliant way to see the beauty of the city right from the flat. It’s cheap and regular. There is a supermarket nearby and small eateries plus a lovely café (on the way to the supermarket on the left) with a huge table made from a tree.
Now back to the flat. The décor is modern and all perfectly set. A river flows past the front of the flat AND also the back. The beauty you are greeted by each time you stand in the flat is unparallelled. In summer the wind that blows through the flat when you leave the back door open as you sleep at night gave our bodies the sweetest caress mother nature has ever given us in our lives. This is a holiday flat and the best place to stay in Copenhagen. If you like swimming then downstairs there’s the usual communal swimming pool built in the river and cordoned off.
