A colleague and I chose to rent a flat rather than a hotel during our business trip to Copenhagen. What a treat! We loved the space, light and being away from the tourist zone. Norrebro is authentic with a bohemian feeling. The flat as a 5 min, easy walk from the subway station and the main bus is almost out the front door. The flat has a balcony with table and chairs overlooking red square.
There were just two of us and we had loads of personal space. I think younger tourists would be happy being more crowded than we were. They have all conveniences for a home away from home such as dishwasher, large fridge, nice range-oven, hair dryer, laundry, etc. the nursery makes it great for a small family. The flat was tidy but if you are a clean freak, it might not be for you, but we felt perfectly fine. As others mentioned, the bathroom reflects the vintage nature of the building. It is tiny and the shower is controlled by the sink, right onto the floor. North Americans are not accustomed to this style, but it was fine for two. With a crowd and everyone taking daily showers, the bathroom and floor would stay pretty damp as this is the one room in the flat without windows. Like others said, the shower works well and it was fine. The decor is as in the photos: gorgeous pale wood floors, white cupboards and molding, beautiful wooden furniture pieces. The rooms are uncluttered and open, despite the amount of items in the flat as it is well organized. Both my colleague and I found the beds to be very comfortable.
Groceries, bistros and shops are right out the door or a 10 min walk for a few chic choices. We had a lovely jog in the nearby cemetery and admired the grave of Hans Christian Andersen. The street is noisy at times, but vibrant. We closed the windows at night but I liked the bustle.
Vibeke and her family are warm and charming. Danish law limits the number of times they can rent their flat to six per year, so we felt privileged to have enjoyed it.
