Sarra from Norway – 3 February 2025 (9/10)

Jamie from United Kingdom – 9 December 2024 (9/10)
Great location, very clean and just what we were looking for, very quiet overnight
What could be improved: Construction happening in the courtyard, not a massive issue but would have been nice to be told beforehandYuhua from United Kingdom – 5 November 2024 (9/10)
Great location
What could be improved: Na.Fiona from United Kingdom – 3 November 2024 (8/10)
In a good part of town as a base for tourism, nice feeling and well equipped rooms. Internal layout is slightly quirky but worked for us.
What could be improved: There was some noise from neighbours in the same block (but it died down at a reasonable hour).Kimberley from United Kingdom – 28 August 2024 (9/10)
Great location. Well maintained . Good level of cleanliness . Enough crockery etc for our group of 5.
Shower was powerful and hot .
What could be improved: Sofa bed was very hard. We used a mattress topper from one of the other beds to make the sofa bed more comfortable.Mercedes from Belgium – 31 July 2024 (7/10)
The location is great. The apartment was very clean and with all the necessary to spend the night (only no shampoo) There was coffee for the Nespresso machine. I didn’t receive the code from booking on time and the stuff on the phone from the property was kind and helpful.
What could be improved: All good.Jennifer from United Kingdom – 9 June 2024 (8/10)
What could be improved: Dust in corners and around furniture
Siri from United Kingdom – 30 May 2024 (9/10)
The location was excellent and the apartment was clean. It had plenty of space.
What could be improved: It was a bit sparse and the beds were a little soft.Victoria from United Kingdom – 24 March 2024 (9/10)
Its location was great and the whole place was very clean, light and airy.
What could be improved: Nothing, it was great!Eimear from Ireland – 4 December 2023 (8/10)
Into this place provided a detailed information app about the property, surrounding areas with an interactive map. Extremely professional and useful to new visitors to Copenhagen.
Bedrooms were on the small side but perfect for oir needs. Especially since we were oit for most of the time.
Kitchen again small but ideal for our needs which were simple breakfasts and lunches
The size of the living room was perfect for oir needs, allowing us a space to relax in after the children had gone to bed.
What could be improved: I can't really fault the place. At a push, you can tell that there is a hugh volume of visitors as the couch and carpet had signs of wear and tear.
A small hoover would be a great addition.
