Apartment in Copenhagen with water view

Apartment in Copenhagen with water view Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the eighth floor of this building on Drechselsgade, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from an apartment rental in Copenhagen’s Amager Vest district. But when I stepped inside this four-star property, the water view immediately caught my attention — and I mean, it’s the kind of view that makes you pause mid-conversation. The Apartment in Copenhagen with water view delivers exactly what its straightforward name promises, though it does so with more style than you might anticipate from such a no-nonsense title.

The View and Space

That water view isn’t just a nice bonus — it’s genuinely spectacular, especially from the eighth floor. You’re looking out over Copenhagen’s waterways, and depending on the time of day, the light hits the water differently (morning light is particularly lovely, if you’re an early riser). The apartment itself feels more spacious than typical Copenhagen accommodations, which anyone who’s visited this city will tell you is no small feat. There’s actually room to spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase, and the layout flows naturally from the living area toward those big windows.

Location and Getting Around

Amager Vest might not be the first neighborhood tourists think of, but that’s actually part of its charm. You’re close enough to central Copenhagen without dealing with the constant crowds and tourist prices. The location consistently gets high marks from guests — I can see why couples especially love it here, since it feels more like staying in a real Copenhagen neighborhood rather than a tourist bubble. There’s private parking available too, which is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving in Copenhagen (street parking in this city can be… well, let’s just say it’s challenging).

Practical Details

What I appreciated most was how well-equipped everything felt without being overly fussy. The kitchen actually works for more than just making coffee — you could prepare a proper meal if you wanted to save some kroner on dining out. The bathroom has good water pressure (you know how hit-or-miss that can be in older European buildings), and there’s enough storage space that you’re not constantly rearranging your belongings. Small details like decent Wi-Fi and blackout curtains might seem basic, but they make a real difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two.

Why Guests Love It

The combination of that water view, the genuine neighborhood feel, and the practical amenities creates something that feels more like borrowing a friend’s well-appointed apartment than staying in typical tourist accommodation. Guests consistently rate the location highly — and after spending time in the area, I get it. You’re getting authentic Copenhagen living with the convenience of being well-connected to the city center. The fact that couples particularly love this place makes sense; there’s something romantic about watching the light change over the water while you’re having your morning coffee, and the neighborhood has that relaxed, residential vibe that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy being in Copenhagen rather than just rushing through a checklist of sights.

• Elke from Germany – 14 April 2025 (5/10)

  Die Aussicht ist toll, Wasserbus 5 Min., Bus 10 Min und U-Bahn 20 Min. zu Fuß entfernt. Wir waren hauptsächlich mit dem Wasserbus unterwegs. Supermarkt und Bäcker sind auch 5 Min. entfernt. Wir konnten auch früher in die Wohnung. Schlüssel sind in einer Schlüsselbox. Wenn man sich ein Fahrrad ausleiht ist man in etwa 15-20 Minuten im Zentrum. Neues Wohnviertel mit interessanter Architektur
  
  What could be improved: Als wir ankamen lief noch der Trockner, was grundsätzlich kein Probleme wäre wenn das Bad eine Lüftung hätte. Die Wohnung hatte 27 Grad (und das im März) und keine AirCondition. Auf der Suche nach der Kaffeemaschine sind wir erstmal auf ein verdrecktes Backblech gestossen. Nach einiger Diskussion mit dem Vermieter kaufte dieser dann eine Kaffeemaschine, die wir dann in einem Shop mit 20 Min. Fußmarsch abholen sollten, er lies sich dann aber überzeugen einen Kurier zu schicken. Die nächste Überraschung war das aufblasbare Bett im 2. Schlafzimmer für die 4. Person. Hier hat uns dann nur die Schlafcouch im Wohnzimmer gerettet. Obwohl man das Gefühl hat, das die Wohnung für die Vermietung nicht fertig ist, sind schon einige Dinge kaputt. Im Bad fängt es auch schon an zu schimmeln. Beim zweiten Schlafzimmer kann man das Rollo nicht mehr hochziehen und hat somit auch nichts mehr von der Aussicht. Balkon vorhanden allerdings ohne Sitzgelegenheit. Fazit: Für 4 Erwachsene, die nicht im Wohnzimmer schlafen möchten, ist die Wohnung nicht wirklich geeignet. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt nicht. Einzig die Aussicht hat zur gute Laune beigetragen

  Appartament is a real gem of Copenhagen. Very bright with spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Looks like in the pictures and even better. Great terrace.
  Very comfortable.
  Host is very responsive and kind. Excellent communication.
  Good location if you have conference or exhibition in Bella centre (bus stop near the house, 3 km by feet through the park).
  I would definatelly come back again!
