A VERY NICE AND PERFECTLY LOCATED RENTAL IN COPENHAGEN.
The directions made it easy for our cabbie to find. Cheryl, the helper, did the necessaries to get us in. The place was spotless and nice, roomy, light and airy, the bed the biggest in any normal rental in Copenhagen, judging from all the other AirBnB listings we saw, and very comfortable. An actual Queen bed per our expectations, lovely. (I will never get used to the two-quilt setup, but apparently this is normal in Europe and I am a fussy sleeper. My wife was fine.) The extra couch/bed in the nice sitting room/dining room would have allowed 2 more to stay with us; it made the place seem very spacious.
By comparison with many other listings in Copenhagen for that time, the price was not a bargain--but it was *totally worth it!
The front door to the building downstairs has a very heavy spring, which makes it a little treacherous getting in, standing on thevery narrow outside stone steps, but this is not the host's doing, just noting it. Also, the place is up two flights of narrow steps on what in the US we would call the third floor--we are older, but we managed.
The kitchen was nice, though rather narrow; it had everything we needed. The back park area surrounded by 6 apartment buildings was very pleasant, both to look at from the nice balcony and to sit in when it was not raining. We soon got used to leaving our outdoor shoes by the door.
We saw online that it is not unusual here to have the shower share a tile floor with the rest of the bathroom, but we found it a challenge to get dry and dressed while standing in the puddle. We managed, though (it drained quickly).
There was no TV. This was marvellous, we really benefitted from the break from Bad News Everywhere. . . we could get that on our phones if we really needed it. The WiFi worked easily too.
The location was ideal! Near everything we wanted to see first, and public transport, with many choices for food, a lovely farmer's market/fresh food plaza nearby, etc., and grocery/convenience stores nearby. Plus a very nice park nearby with a lake, and the "Lakes" in the other direction (like 7 rectangular canal sections crossed by street bridges.)
The extensive booklet of instructions, information, and guidance on local services, sights, and travel options the hosts provided was a great plus! Also good local maps and guide books. The first night we easily found the grocery store, and we had a nice Danish Fusion dinner at No. 30 Nansengade. We had only 2 days, so the next day we got sunny weather and walked to Nyhavn and took a boat tour, very pleasant, then walked over to Tivoli, which was more crowded with attractions than I remembered it from 60 years ago . . . In the evening we had pizza and then walked and sat by the "Lakes". The next day we got adventurous and walked over to Norreport station and took the 30-minute train straight North to Muslebaek on the coast and saw the wonderful Louisiana museum of modern art and had the deicious Modern Danish brunch. It was a peak experience, one we might not have had without the hint from the hosts.
All in all we had a lovely time in Copenhagen, and the apartment helped a lot!
