So, as with everything, there are pros and cons to this place. If you’re too lazy to read, the summary would be the place is just okay, and only stay here for short stays. So, here goes nothing:
Pros:
- Mathilde was really nice
- The apartment is well equipped and has everything you need
- There are some cool bars near the place
- The place is extremely quiet at night
- In terms of Copenhague, this place is dirty cheap
Cons:
- The location is not good at all. Sure, you have the metro 10 minutes walking and maybe a bus, but if you want to walk to the nearest tourist attraction near the city center, you’re talking of at least 50 minutes.
- The cleanliness in this place is non existence. The room was decently cleaned, but there was a Dirty pan with spaghetti on it and some dirty plates and it was only cleaned after 4 days when it started smelling. The place is crammed with stuff, there is no place to put anything, there are shoes and clothes everywhere and the bathroom is also full of stuff. Even the space to put your stuff in the room has some other persons underwear in there.
- For some reason, there is just 1 trashcan in the whole apartment, there is non in the bathroom nor in the room. This leads to the really akward situation of having to go to the kitchen every time you floss, which I think it’s extremely unhygienic.
- That one trashcan was ALWAYS overflowing, to the point where I had to put my trash in my room and wait until the bag was emptied, which only was once. When it was finally emptied, I was the one that had to put the new bag in.
- The fridge is overflowing with stuff and there is no space to put your stuff in case you want to cook. I had to make some deep rearranging, which is extremely uncomfortable since it’s not my food, for half of my food to fit. The other half didn’t fit, I had to leave it out in my room and it ended rotting because of it. (Why advertise a fully equipped kitchen when you don’t even have space to use it)
- This only happened one night, but the whole place started stinking like cigarette (and I found one in the trashcan so it definitely didn’t come from outside)
- I know it’s a shared apartment and I’m in someone’s house, but it takes hours for the host to use the bathroom, and there’s also no space for your stuff in there.
- You don’t really get to use the kitchen at night, since Mathilde’s room is right next to it and for some reason it doesn’t have a door, just a curtain, so there really is no privacy there.
Overall, If you’re staying a night or two and only plan to sleep there, this place is maybe worth it in a price way, but if you were planning to use any of the listed amenities, or are staying for more than 2 days, I’d look somewhere else
