Holiday Rental Description

A bohemian atmosphere meets Japanese zen in this striking home. We particularly love all the original features including the wooden beams, exposed brick walls (and even the creaky floors), which mix beautifully with the hosts’ collection of books and vintage furniture. Since the apartment was renovated in 2013, it has been featured in several lifestyle magazines for its charming design aesthetic. Spread across three floors, unique quirks include the rather rustic ladders that take you up to the second and third floors. Curl up in a cosy corner with a book in hand and live the scene of what seems like it could be a fictional dream. Alongside world literature, the host also supplies guests with access to gym equipment, should you wish to keep up with your fitness routine while visiting Copenhagen. Around the apartment, the immediate area feels very local – the Christianshavn canals are just two minutes away, and so are plenty of restaurants. All in all, it's safe to say that this home is perfectly out of the ordinary.

Home truths:
*This home sleeps three guests, but the last one would be on a small double on the mezzanine floor – due to the narrow ladder, it’s not suited for children or elderly guests
*It’s split across three floors – be prepared for some up and down via the ladders
*The courtyard is shared between all residents of the building
*The apartment is on the second floor of an old building with no elevator
*The master bedroom bed is a Japanese-style bed – it’s essentially a mattress on top of a wooden frame
*The host allows guests to smoke on the balcony, but not inside the apartment
* There is paid parking available off the premises
*Breakfast for the first day is included
