Jesper is an outstanding host - attentive, communicative, and friendly. He’s very responsive to messages and handles things efficiently whenever a question or issue comes up. He also compiled a little booklet recommending good restaurants and bars nearby. He’s also ready to share local tips when asked.
The place is bright, lots of natural light, with a lovely little street view. Ample storage for one or two people for a longer stay. Nice little kitchen with necessities to prep full meals. The WiFi is fast and stable. However, the bathroom is teeny-tiny, and since it’s windowless, it can be challenging to vent sometimes, but it serves its purpose. The elevator worked fine throughout my stay, but unfortunately, when it rains, it also sort of rains inside the elevator. Since it’s a historic building, such things as well as squeaky slanted floor, old hallway carpet are expected. Although there’s an elevator, there’s some steps to climb as well, so keep this in mind if you have something heavy to carry.
The apartment is in prime location, the heart of the vibrant Vesterbro. It shares its address with the neighborhood star, a trendy grocery store/beer cellar. The area is hip, young, and lively, but it’s also nice and safe, with many young families and youths. Only a stone’s throw from the famed Meatpacking District, where you can find cool restaurants and bars. 15-min walk to the central station and Tivoli area; 5-min walk to the S train and some buses. Since the popular mini mart is right downstairs, you will hear music, chatter, laughing, and singing (the Danes sure know how to have a good time) till at least midnight, or 2-3am during weekends, so this is suitable for someone who don’t mind some noise levels.
All in all, although I had to leave a bit early due to a personal health condition, I had a nice stay at Jesper’s place. Will be happy to stay again if I’m back in København.
