The photos and description of the property are accurate (for the most part, there are a few pieces of furniture and kitchen supplies that are different / missing, but that’s minor). The floors are treated with a kind of whitewash, which leaves the impression of dust, and I wonder if that’s why some of the earlier reviewers left comments about cleanliness - I don’t think the floors are actually dusty, they just look that way based on how they are treated.
But, I should have read the reviews more carefully and wish I had paid more attention to details when booking. I failed to account for are things like (a) there are no curtains, including on the skylights in the bedrooms; fine if your sleep is not impacted by light, but problematic if so; (b) the bedrooms are up a stair with no handrail, and two full staircases away from the only bathroom, so if you need to get up in the middle of the night to use the loo it’s a quite long journey with a fairly treacherous obstacle to clear on the way; (c) there is a small TV, but with no channels and only a fidgety chromecast which we were only ever able to get partially to work after a full reboot - normally not a big deal in a great city like Copenhagen, but it is a big deal when the plan is to hole up one’s family over a covid-restricted holiday; and (d) there are a number of, shall we say, rustic elements to the property from loose door handles to temperamental plumbing to an un-lit entrance courtyard to broken and ill-fit cabinet doors that made us realize that this was not the experience we thought we’d be getting for over $800 / night. Jesper answered our requests for help, but, let’s be honest, debugging the issues here is not what we had intended to spend our holiday time doing, certainly not for the amount we were paying. For that reason, we decided to cut our losses (which were pretty steep) and end our stay early to move to another property in the city for the remainder of our stay. We wish Jesper well as a host and hope that he can use some of the rental revenue he earned for the nights we are not there to address some of the challenges this property has; the building has rustic and historical charm, and with some TLC could be an interesting property for a visitor who’s a better fit for the offering.
