Once the stomping grounds of ashore sailors seeking romance and adventure, this penthouse apartment has 400 years of history to its name. The half-timbering style pays homage to its heritage, but the rest of the design is contemporary. Layout-wise, it's quite quirky – the bedrooms have glass walls, the bathroom has two showers and two toilets, and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed. It's also on the third floor of a building without a lift. But the location is hard to beat. The picturesque Nyhavn waterfront is steps away. There's also a cafe in the courtyard downstairs, perfect for a laid-back coffee.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
The bathroom layout is a little quirky. The WC has two individual toilets and a shared sink, while the separate shower room has two shower cubicles. With eleven guests sharing, it may be a bit tight.
This apartment is on the third floor of a building without a lift. You'll have to climb a lot of stairs here – it won't be suitable for those with limited mobility.
Three bedrooms are divided from the living area by glass walls. They have curtains for privacy. All the super king-sized beds can be split into two singles upon request.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request.
The lead guest must be at least 23 years old.
Given the central location, some noise is to be expected.
The building is accessed through a communal courtyard, which has a cafe.

Found within the city limits of Indre By, it’s typically the first stop on any tour of Copenhagen as it’s within walking distance to some of the most famous attractions – Strøget, Kongens Nytorv, Designmuseum Danmark, Amalienborg Palace (where Queen Margrethe lives), as well as Kastellet....
