BEST Airb'n'b experience ever. Kari was easy to communicate with, and her home was exactly as pictured... perhaps even more lovely than pictured. It's a fancy neighborhood, but not stuffy, or unfriendly. My husband and I stayed for 8 days with our friend and her teenage son. We had more than enough space, and couldn't hear noise from floor to floor. We all felt like we had the most relaxing city vacation ever while at Kari's place.
The house: Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, spacious and inviting living room/dining room. The bathroom is stunning! The yards are quaint and well attended to. Everything worked perfectly, and it was quiet and calm. *if you are a light sleeper bring a sleep mask... the sun rises early (duh), and her curtains are sheer and white. It was fine for us, as we are early risers... but our companions had to block out the sunrise with masks.
The area: Perfection. Completely central. We popped into Emmery's nearly every morning of our 8 day stay. The Netto down the street was great for picking up grocery's. We walked and biked into Fredriksberg, Østerbro, and the central area easily (5 minutes in any direction brings you to a charming neighborhood). We are active travelers, so we averaged 20 miles of biking each day!
***Special shout out to Kari*** on our last day we spilled coffee on her beautiful white throw (that was a family heirloom). Kari was kind, and gave me directions on how to care for it. She even texted me to let me know that she got the stain out, and that all was well.
Random tips: the best pastry we had was at Mirabelle (10 minute bike ride). We rented bikes from our friends of friends shop Thunderfist... highly recommend! Eco-friendly bikes from Amsterdam. Excellent Mexican food at La Neta (coming from Californians!). Also the haloumi bowl at Gaza Grill was super good. The best porridge ever is at Grød. Go jump in the canals and go swimming.
