We could not have imagined a more wonderful place to stay in Copenhagen. The location was perfect with access to public transport. The street the apartment was on was quiet. It was extremely spacious. There were restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores and cafes nearby. All necessary mod cons were available and everything functioned. The bathroom was huge. The Wifi was fast. Plenty of hot water. We felt very lucky to find this apartment.

Hip, practical and well-located apartment with a nice view. We were three people, rented the apartment for three nights and had a wonderful time using it. The owner was very nice and helpful throughout our stay and quickly responded to every email we sent with questions. She also left us enough shower and sleep linen. The apartment is very modern, fairly close to Østerport train station and within walking distance to some interesting sightseeing spots (e.g. Kastellet, Little Mermaid). We decided to rent an apartment because we would be able to cook our own meals, so the fact that it was literally in front of a groceries shop helped us out a lot. What I liked best was the view from the apartment to the river front. It is a cute extra, as great place to chill and enjoy the view while having breakfast.
