Magnus was a wonderful host and a super nice guy! His place is awesomely designed and was more than enough space for a couple. Everything was nicely organized, functional, and attractive. Magnus also gave us some wonderful tips on things to do in Copenhagen that were a great match for us and was very responsive.

Staying at Magnus' place is like a little slice of living in Copenhagen as a twenty something (I'm older than that myself, so don't let this this put you off if you're "hip at heart"), and it's super convenient to have a bank and grocery store in the building. However, guests should know that's it's not city center. It's about an hour walk to the Little Mermaid and 30 minutes to parts that start to feel like downtown areas. Copenhagen is also a fairly spread out city, with really three main city centers, so you should expect more walking in the city center than in other cities around the world. I walk a lot (I've lived in major cities around the world the past seven years) and I found the walk into town + walking around town to be quite a bit. I wouldn't let this dissuade you from staying there, especially if you're active and open to renting a bike. It's just an FYI. There is a bus (which I didn't take) and taxis, although taxis are super duper expensive ($20 USD for a 10 minute ride).

I really liked Erik's Bakery across the street.
