Set in a renovated home that dates back to 1880 and opens up to a beautiful garden, Lykke (meaning happiness in Danish) is all we want from a Copenhagen home. Bright and luminous, it sets the scene for a wonderful holiday with the family. The immediate neighbourhood has a distinct character (it’s on the quiet side), but it’s filled with beautiful buildings and swanky villas. We love the delicate combination of colours, Danish design icons (Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton), and the eye-catching posters from the host’s own company.

Home truths:

*This is a lived-in home, expect to share the space with some of the hosts’ belongings like toys, toiletries and clothes
*Both bedroom two and three are set up and designed for children

*There's a hamster in one of the children's bedrooms – allergies may be a problem
