Located in the back building of a courtyard close to vibrant Nyhavn, this unique apartment channels old Copenhagen in a light-hearted way. We love this place – it's quirky, quiet, and crooked (it's in a typical timber-framed building with brick walls and low ceilings). Your host, Mikkel, is a music-lover, so there's an abundance of instruments, sound equipment and a huge record collection, as well as cool design classics by Hans J. Wegner – one of Denmark's most creative furniture designers. We also couldn't take our eyes off the lion foot bathtub, elegantly paired with a surfboard for a playful touch – though the tub is for decoration purposes only. Step out into Copenhagen's charming streets, and you'll find yourself just a few hundred metres from the colourful waterside bars and restaurants of Nyhavn. Stroll a few minutes further and you can browse the boutiques that line pedestrianised Strøget. Finally, head away from the centre, and the world-famous Little Mermaid statue is around twenty minutes' walk away. Alternatively, do as the locals do and cycle around the city to cut your journey times in half.

Home truths
A third guest would be on a sofa bed in the living room
The bathtub in the living room is for decorative purposes only
The wi-fi is a bit on the slower side
There’s not much natural light in the living room, as it’s in the back building of a courtyard – though the all-white decor helps
In true Copenhagen fashion, the bathroom is on the more basic side
Tall people take note – the ceiling is only 187cm high in places

Local guide
About Nyhavn
Nyhavn is the Copenhagen you see on postcards. With brightly coloured houses lining the bustling waterfront, it’s the most photographed spot in the city. 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....

Host
This home is managed by Mikkel
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Hosting feels very natural to Mikkel. He travels a lot, and he always stays in other people’s homes too, so it was only a matter of time before he became a host himself. The co-founder of a Danish fashion brand and super into music, Mikkel is a curious and creative soul. He’s always keen on connecting with his guests, especially if they like the same kind of music as him.
