This sunny, beautifully designed apartment was perfect for my family, but I would like it without kids. There were a fair amount of noisy kids in the courtyard every morning beginning at about 6:30 am, and I think many of them were summer travelers as they were not all speaking Danish.
The lights of candles as people dined out on terraces each night was beautiful and there was something just luminous and otherworldly. The neighbors were respectful and lovely—not crazy or loud.
Khioshk is the best tiny grocer with yummy sandwiches and amazing pastries, as well as over 500 types of beers in their basement!
Nina’s hospitality in having some staples on hand and her thoughtfulness in going through every thing so guests know what to use was impeccable. All the way down to which toys my four-year-old could use. It was super easy for him, too.
The succulents are gorgeous, the shades of grey and teal on the walls are gorgeous, the light and windows are gorgeous.
The bathroom is super tiny, like the baths in Prague, but to be expected in an urban old city. My daughter had to be reminded to turn off the shower from the supply because she kept going back in and dousing her shirt when she would try to brush her teeth. Haha!
The harbor tour from Nyhavn was beautiful but the tourists would NOT shut up so you couldn’t hear anything beyond the first three rows from the front.
The Gourmet Grocery has very fresh fish and chips, as well as a beautiful grocery/deli/bakery in the back.
Do go to Dragør to swim, and do go to Islands Brygge (within very close walking distance) when it’s hotter than Hades in Copenhagen.
Nina was so communicative and open. We LOVED her home.
