I stayed at Elvira’s place for the month of July, and it was exactly what I was looking for during my stay in Copenhagen. It was my third time in the city and two weeks in my boyfriend was coming to join, and it was his first time there. I’ve stayed in a couple places in town so I knew my way around, and I found Elvira’s place to be in the best location. It’s just a couple minutes walk down the street from the metro stop, and incredibly close to a lot of great restaurants, shops, museums, and sights. Many times we booked restaurant reservations and realized they were only 5-10 minutes walk away on foot.
The apartment is also sun-filled, relatively cool by the way the windows are facing (no air conditioning but AC is pretty rare in Copenhagen- most shops and museums don’t have it), and very quiet. While the entrance is on a Main Street, the apartment is in a back building so you get none of the noise. Getting in the apartment was also a breeze, the directions were specific and accurate, and if you don’t have cell data to open up the key box at 7-11, 7-11 does have free wifi which I used to open it.
The apartment was just like in the pictures (but she added a Smart TV) and of course fully furnished with laundry detergent, cooking supplies (oil, salt, spices,etc.), etc. I cooked a number of times while there and everything (including the oven) worked perfectly. The furniture and amenities were also great and had stylish design, so it felt like you were living there for a time.
Elvira checked in with me during my stay to make sure everything was going ok, and I mentioned a couple tiny things just to let her know but weren’t that important, and she offered to have a repairman to come by and fix it while we were there. We declined because it wasn’t a big deal, but that definitely made us feel taken care of.
Another reviewer mentioned that the internet is spotty- it does go in an out sometimes, but you just have to wait a minute for it to come back on and it’ll do that automatically. My bf and I worked remotely for a couple of weeks (including video calls), and it was fine.
Overall, I’d recommend Elvira’s place to anyone who wants to feel at home in Copenhagen!
