Staying here was like being in someone’s cozy (think “hygge”) home. There are lovely personal touches throughout this very spacious apartment, and Nastja and Mikeal couldn’t have been more gracious. The perfect blend of warmth and respect for boundaries.
The location is perfect. We’d considered saving some money by staying outside the city, but I’m so glad we didn’t! Christianshvn is a neighborhood just outside the city center, so a little quieter and a bit more residential, but it is wonderfully scenic in itself and a very short walk and even shorter subway trip to the center of Copenhagen. The little 7am walks along the canal to the bakery to pick up a loaf of the most amazing bread in the world were representative of the entire experience: charming, authentic, carefree.
Two factors to be aware of if anyone in your travel party is elderly or physically challenged. The “third floor,” in the European fashion, is actually four flights up. (We we’re grateful for the exercise, but it would be hard for some.) Similarly, the shower requires a step up via step stool and then a step over into the actual tub. It was fine for us, but could be tricky for someone less physically able.
Otherwise, this is a wonderfully-hosted place perfect for a family or a group of friends, in one of the most magical cities you can imagine.
