We’ve been to wonderful Copenhagen the first time and we got so so lucky. Not only blessed with a fabulous temperature and a lot of sunshine, we also had the pleasure to nearly felt at home right in the second we arrived. Lovely Gry and her apartment were already waiting for us for a warm welcome! If you are that someone too, with an eye for nice colors, personal art and a crush on design and interior, you will feel the same. Her place really reflects that Danish hygge-feeling you are waiting for 😊.
Every room speaks its own history with all the self-created pictures and artsy stuff, but always cozy (and very clean by the way!). Gry showed us everything while explaining all the shared spaces and machines in her well-equipped kitchen (like the ones for sparkling water, coffee, etc.), which we had been able to use as well – even cooking was possible, but honestly: who’s going to cook, if you have the world’s BEST bakeries (suggestion: Juno the bakery), best restaurants and Ice Cream-Shops just around the corner 😊.
We slept in a double sized bed and it was all comfy and quiet in the nights.
The neighborhood is very green but central to the city. You can go by feet or take a bike for rent (a rental is easily possible, also close to Grys appt.) to the city centre. A street with nice restaurants and sites to do the daily shopping is just a 5-minute walk away. If you want to use the train “Trianglen St.” and “Nordhavn St.” is about a 10-minute walk away. If you arrive by car, we found a nice place for free parking (ask Gry about it).
We appreciated the lovely sites where you can relax with a coffee (five lakes) or enjoy the beautiful view (Nordhavn basin). We definitely would recommend to do a walk in the evening at the waterfront from Nuidhavn via the little mermaid to Nordhavn. The view of the illuminated buildings is amazing.
Gry will surely tell you some of the best and also hidden places, she knows them both well, so you will have a very good overview of Copenhagen if you make it for 3 to 4 nights!
Absolutely recommended, we will be happy to return someday soon.
