Practical and aesthetically pleasing, clean but not precious – The White Whale is a quintessential Copenhagen home. It’s located right on Istedgade, Vesterbro’s current hipster mecca that also continues to carry contrasting remnants of its colourful past. The pristine kitchen is well-equipped making it perfect to experience the city like a local. We also love the gorgeous design details like the Wishbone chairs and the charming collection of plants. Enjoy a BBQ on the balcony, or step outside and take your pick of nearby parks, quirky bars, and independent eateries.
