Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The Alphabet oozes Copenhagen charm. Not only is it a loved home with personality aplenty, but you’re also so central that you can see beautiful Copenhagen spires and copper-clad roofs from the terrace. We love how this two-bedroom home juxtaposes contemporary Danish design with design classics like the Safari Chair and the PH 80 floor lamp. It’s very clearly a family home, so expect to feel a cosy and caring atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door.

Home truths
This is a lived-in home, so expect to share the space with the hosts’ personal belongings like clothes, drawings, and toys
Bedroom two is very clearly set up and decorated for kids with a cot for a child
This home is located on the fourth floor with no lift, so be prepared for some up and down
In true Copenhagen fashion, the bathroom is on the smaller side
The kitchen is functional and great for cooking, but it could do with an update
Guest 4 would sleep on a futon in bedroom two
Even though the French doors that separate bedroom two and the living room are beautiful, they don’t offer a lot of privacy
We also noticed some scuff marks on the walls when we visited
