Four nights in Jacob's stylish apartment was exactly what I needed. Its location and environment are perfect for anyone wanting to live in Christianshavn like a local. The restaurants and cafes, the grocery stores, the parks, the Metro, the canals, Christiania -- are all "just around the corner." So are the equally cool nearby neighborhoods of Amager and Islands Brygge.

My stay had days of wonderful weather, with flowers in bloom and birds making nests, so I spent a lot of time hanging out in the courtyard. Through a gated door beyond the courtyard is an idyllic shared park and access to the streets.

I found Jacob's AirBnB "city guide" useful and second his recommendation of Green Mango Thai on Torvegade. It's really good! I also recommend Jacob's apartment. He's a great, attentive host with a sweet pad.
