My husband and I stayed at Maria’s place while I was on a work trip turned vacation. Let me start by saying that this apartment is in an AMAZING area of Copenhagen. Walking distance from everything- The Round Tower, Rosenborg Castle, museums, great bars, restaurants and cafes, Nyhavn, etc. I would highly recommend and definitely stay again.

We briefly met Maria and she was very nice! We chatted for a bit and she gave us some great recommendations.

In terms of the actual apartment, we really loved it- very quaint and cozy. We were able to relax in the living room after hours of walking around, have lunch at the kitchen table, and enjoy a great night sleep in the bed, all while overlooking a beautiful courtyard.
One thing I would like to mention is that we were told we could not use the fireplace. This was slightly disappointing because we specifically searched Airbnb for apartments with a fireplace, so it was a bit of a letdown when we found out it was out of service.
Another item worth noting is the bathroom, which is a proper water closet, meaning you use the toilet, sink, and shower in one room; and there is no separation. We had never seen this before and while it wasn’t a huge deal, it is worth noting because it was quite small and wasn’t the most relaxing experience.

Lastly, when choosing Airbnb, we expect a unique and cultured experience, which we can certainly say that we got. However, we also expect basic hospitality principles, and that includes privacy. There were a few instances where Maria came to the apartment to retrieve items she had forgotten. This is obviously not an issue, however, two of those times she came unannounced, one where we were still in bed and another when we were out and noticed upon our return that things had been put away in the apartment that had been left out. While we understand that this is your home, we are paying money to stay and feel like it is ours for those few days. There are of course extenuating circumstances and if it had been communicated in advance, that would not be a problem at all.

Even with all that being said, I would still stay at Maria’s again but just ask that she keeps this feedback in mind in the future. :)
