Alex was the perfect host! He arrived, showed us around, made sure we had everything we needed, and left us alone. If we had any questions, he responded very promptly. His flat was so homey and comfortable, we truly loved spending time there, and we usually just look for places to simply sleep. Alex's place was very conveniently located, within easy walking distance of the city center, but in a very quiet, family-oriented, residential neighborhood. This allowed us to see all the sites easily, and spend the day out with all the other people, but in the evening, we could come back "home" and truly relax and get a good night's sleep. We found the shower/bathroom combination to be very convenient and clean, with the whole bathroom getting rinsed down each time one of us would take a shower. It is so practical and was very easy to get accustomed to. His television system was very easy to use and allowed us to kick back and watch movies in the evenings. His bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in! I will definitely head to IKEA next time we need a bed! We were a family of four and two adults slept on the sofa-bed, which was spacious. We really enjoyed Copenhagen and did some day trips outside of the city too, to see some of the castles. Everything is so close and easy to get to. The tourist information center is phenomenal, providing everything you need to enjoy the beautiful country and we found it very easy to get around. There are some great markets in the neighborhood, and just across the water, at the train station by the shopping mall, are a bunch of bike rental places. Definitely rent a bike, but make sure they are ones that you can lock and leave, to go visit sites up close. All in all, Copenhagen was one of our favorite places and Alex's apartment was one of the reasons. We really felt like we were living in Denmark for a week, instead of just being tourists, staying in a hotel. We highly recommend Alex's flat in Islands Brygge and would not hesitate to stay there again, and would definately recommend it to friends and family.
