We enjoyed this apartment. We booked our stay very last minute, not knowing anything about Copenhagen neighborhoods, and we were fortunate to get this gem of an apartment in such a cool location.
WHAT WE LOVED
-The location is amazing! This neighborhood has tons of great shops, restaurants, cafes, bike rentals. There is a pharmacy, Netto grocery, and Espresso House just up the street. Walking distance to Norreport Station, Round Tower, Stroget, Kings Garden, the canals, and loads of other sights. 20 min walk to Central Station and Tivoli Gardens.
-The apartment is very nice. Light and bright, as described. High ceilings and tall windows make it feel spacious.
-Two bedrooms, very comfortable beds, cozy down comforters. Living room sofa folds down into an extra bed, if needed. Tons of extra sheets and towels provided.
-Many essentials provided: hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, dishwasher detergent, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, ironing board and iron, umbrellas, toaster, electric hot water kettle, coffee pot for pods.
-We were delighted to find a washer/dryer in the kitchen.
-TV was very good quality, and we were able to watch our Netflix account on it.
-Free wifi, easy to connect to.
-Lots of plugs and power strips in every room - bring your travel adapters if needed.
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
-There is only one set of keys to the apartment. We asked for a second set right after arrival, and were informed there was not a second set, and that we should place our keys in the outdoor lockbox when going in and out. This seems simple, and might work for a smaller group or a shorter stay. We were staying for a week, and my husband was on a work trip with a completely different schedule than me and my kids. The single key caused many unnecessary complications over the course of the week. We are very self-sufficient guests, and this was literally our ONLY request to the host all week. We felt that the host should have made the extra effort to have a second set of keys made and delivered to us.
-The central location also means it is a noisy location. The apartment is one floor above the street. There is a faint but persistent “ding-dong” throughout the day from the ice cream shop door just downstairs. There are late night partiers and early morning construction vehicles on the street. If you are a light sleeper, bring your earplugs. That said, the other residents in the building are extremely quiet.
SOME IDEAS FOR THE HOST
We arrived late, very jet-lagged, not knowing where any shops were and too tired to go out. It would have been nice to find in the apartment:
-Some instant coffee or tea
-A city map
-A suggestion sheet and map for essential locations nearby (pharmacy, grocery, cafe)
-An instruction sheet for the appliances (especially the washer/dryer)
Overall, our stay here was great, and we would recommend it to others. We would also stay here again ourselves. This apartment is great for couples, families, or friend trips.
