Copenhagen's Chicest Apartment: City Center, Newly Renovated!
Alright, buckle up, because this isn't your cookie-cutter hotel review. We're diving headfirst into the supposed ahem "Chicest Apartment" in Copenhagen – the City Center, Newly Renovated one. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype, because honestly, after dragging my luggage through cobblestone streets in the rain… a "chic" experience is exactly what I need.
First Impression: Did I Die and Go to Hygge Heaven?
Okay, let's be real. The "newly renovated" bit? It delivers. Stepping inside was like… well, like an Instagram grid finally coming to life. Bright, airy, everything's crisp and clean. Immediately felt a sense of calm, you know? After a stressful flight and some dodgy directions, the clean lines, the light pouring in… it's a balm for the soul. The decor? Think minimalist Scandi-chic. Not for everyone, maybe, but after a while it's just… perfect.
Accessibility, Security, and Cleanliness: The Nitty-Gritty
Right, before we get lost in the hygge vibes, let's talk brass tacks.
- Accessibility: This is where things got a bit… mixed. (I’m not the best person to asses this) It's a city apartment, so I was lucky. But, let's just say it wouldn't exactly be paradise for someone with mobility issues.
- Cleanliness & Safety: Top marks here. You could eat off the floors (though I didn't test that, obviously). They're serious about sanitation. Anti-viral cleaning products, individually wrapped food options… it felt genuinely safe. The staff were masked up and clearly trained in safety protocols.
- Security: 24-hour security, CCTV everywhere… felt very safe and sound.
The Apartment Itself: Cozy Comfort?
Alright, let's get to the good stuff.
- The Room: I was in a non-smoking room (thank heavens). It was perfect. The bed? Heavenly. Extra long, as promised. The blackout curtains worked beautifully – blessedly, I’m a terrible sleeper. And the little touches? Fresh flowers, a bottle of water (free!), and a coffee/tea maker ready to go. (That's crucial, people.)
- Tech Stuff: Free Wi-Fi was rock solid. I could stream movies all day without a hitch. Which, let's face it, is basically a necessity for any holiday these days. Internet access – LAN was there if you needed it, but why?
- Amenities: Air conditioning (a must, even in Copenhagen sometimes), an in-room safe, a desk for those (shudder) moments when you have to work. Plus, the bathroom was great. And they don't skimp on the toiletries.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food Glorious Food!
Okay, so this is where things get properly exciting.
- Breakfast: I opted for the breakfast in room, and it was a total delight. A spread of fresh pastries, cheeses, fruits, etc. The perfect way to start the day.
- Restaurants: There's an amazing a la carte restaurant downstairs, serving international cuisine. Loved that. Coffee shop there, too. And if you needed a snack, there's a snack bar.
- Room Service: 24-hour room service gets a huge thumbs up from me. Especially when jet lag hits and all you want is a burger.
Getting Around & General Conveniences
- Location, Location, Location: Seriously, this apartment is in the city center. Everything's within walking distance or a quick bike ride away. Brilliant.
- Services: Laundry service, dry cleaning, daily housekeeping, a concierge… it's all there. They were very helpful, no matter what I asked, from booking a taxi to finding the best chocolate shop.
- Transport: Airport transfer and taxi service available. (Valet parking and car park on site which is amazing in central Copenhagen!) Plus, bicycle parking. Copenhagen is a biking city, so that's definitely a plus.
Things To Do & Ways to Relax: Now We're Talking!
Okay, this is where things went from "nice" to "HECK YES".
- The Spa: Okay, the spa! I'm a sucker for a good spa, and this one was… wow. I went for a massage (heaven!), and then spent a blissful hour in the sauna. Pure relaxation. They offer treatments like body scrubs and body wraps, but I was already sufficiently blissed out.
- Fitness Center: If you're into that sort of thing, the gym/fitness center is right there.
- Pool with a View: This. This is something else. An outdoor swimming pool, with the city skyline in the background. I didn't get to use it (weather, bah!), but just the thought of it made me happy.
The Quirks & The Imperfections
Look, no place is perfect. Here's the real deal:
- The Coffee: Coffee in the room was great. But the restaurant could be better.
- Lounge: The lounge also looks amazing but I was too busy to try this.
- Bathroom: I loved the bathroom, but if you're tall, you might want to check the shower head height. Minor niggle, really.
- The Price: It's not the cheapest stay in Copenhagen. But, for what you get, the location, the quality, it's worth it.
The Verdict: Copenhagen's Chicest? Maybe.
Honestly? I loved this place. It’s stylish, it’s central, it’s comfortable, and the spa… oh, the spa!

Escape to Paradise: La Neffola's Sorrento Magic Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn’t your perfectly curated, Instagram-ready Copenhagen itinerary. This is real life, in a charming apartment, in the heart of it all, and let me tell you, it’s going to be a ride. Welcome to my messy, opinionated, and hopefully hilarious take on a Copenhagen adventure.
Copenhagen Capers: A Messy Little Itinerary (Emphasis on Messy)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Danish Embrace (Or, "Help, I'm Already Behind")
- 10:00 AM (supposedly): Arrive at Kastrup Airport (CPH). Already feeling the pressure. Did I pack enough socks? Probably not. My flight was delayed, you see, and I'm already convinced I'll lose track of everything.
- 11:00 AM: Transportation Chaos. Finding the train to the city center. I'm usually pretty good at this, but the sheer efficiency of the Danes might be intimidating. This being my first time on the train, I'm sure I will look the complete fool.
- 12:00 PM: Check into the "Charming Apt · City Center · Newly Renovated." Or at least, try to. Key-code nightmares. Of course, I'll have to spend 20 minutes and several frustrated sighs while reading the instructions again, and then, probably, calling the host. God, I hope there’s coffee already made. Please, sweet baby Jesus, let there be coffee.
- 1:00 PM: Finally In! Apartment exploration… Oh, it's lovely. Seriously, it's exactly the kind of place you dream of – bright, airy, with a little balcony that screams, "sip wine here." Except, wait… where's the wine opener? (This is going to be a theme, isn't it?)
- 1:30 PM: Coffee and Recovery.
- 2:00 PM: Mandatory "First Impression" Stroll. Okay, I'm on a mission: see something. Strøget, the pedestrian shopping street. Overwhelming. Too many people. Half of them appear to be mannequins. My internal monologue is already screaming, "This isn't what you signed up for!" But I'm trying to embrace the chaos.
- 3:00 PM: Nyhavn…and the color-induced swoon. Seriously, the painted houses! The cobblestones! The boats! It's ludicrously picturesque, and I'm suddenly understanding why everyone raves about this place. Taking a hundred photos. Probably oversharing on Instagram later.
- 4:00 PM: The Little Mermaid Debacle. Okay, fine, I had to see her. She's…small. Really small. And surrounded by a bunch of selfie sticks. My reaction: a slightly deflated, "Huh." Don't get me wrong, respect to the lady but still.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner time already?! I’m hungry. But I refuse to make a reservation! The freedom… I have to find somewhere local while still embracing my indecisiveness. I found a place!
- 6:30 PM: After all that food, I feel like I should go out. There's a place called Kødbyen (Meatpacking District) that apparently has the coolest bars.
- 7:30 PM: Found the place. It's packed, the air is thick with the scent of something good, and I felt a little out of place to begin with.
- 8:00 PM: First drink of the night and making friends! Found someone who wants to show me around the city for the rest of the night!
- 9:00 PM - Whenever: Let the Night Begin!
Day 2: Bikes, Bakeries, and Maybe a Meltdown (Or, "The Day I Became a Slightly Functional Dane")
- 9:00 AM (or thereabouts): Waking up. The morning light, flooding through the apartment window, feels ridiculously cheerful. Ignoring the slight headache.
- 9:30 AM: Bike Rental of Doom. Okay, so I have this romantic notion of being effortlessly chic on a bicycle. Reality? Wobbling down the street, narrowly avoiding pedestrians, and feeling generally terrified. (Note to self: practice bike riding before your next trip.)
- 10:00 AM: Breakfast at a Bakery. Seriously. Danish pastries! The cinnamon rolls, the ones with the marzipan… I'm in heaven. Ordering everything. The Danes take their pastries seriously, and I'm suddenly understanding why.
- 11:00 AM: The Canals of Copenhagen. They are pretty, alright. I'm getting better at the whole bike thing, or at least, I think I am. My coordination is not on point.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch somewhere. I am starving, finding a spot shouldn't be too hard.
- 1:00 PM: Getting lost. I'm pretty sure I've taken a wrong turn. My internal compass is broken, or maybe it was never there to begin with. I ask for help.
- 1:30 PM: The Changing of the Guard at Amalienborg Palace. It's… well, it's a bit like watching paint dry, but in a fancy military uniform kind of way. I love it, but more importantly, I didn't miss it!
- 3:00 PM: The Round Tower (Rundetårn). Okay, the climb? Brutal. But the view? Worth it. Especially when you reach the top and realize you've actually climbed a spiral staircase.
- 4:00 PM: Fika Time!!! Coffee break! This is crucial. I've earned it.
- 5:00 PM: Tivoli Gardens. It's already getting dark, but I'm determined to go.
- 6:00 PM: Roller coaster. I don't do roller coasters. But the lights! My heart started pumping fast and for a moment, everything felt okay.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and drinks somewhere. I found a place and made the perfect decision.
Day 3: Exploration, Art and Maybe a Breakdown (Or, "Accepting that I'm a Tourist, and That's Okay")
- 9:00 AM: More Coffee. I need it.
- 9:30 AM: Going to the Museum. Picked the National Museum of Denmark.
- 10:00 AM: Museum Exploration. The exhibits are amazing and filled with history, but my brain feels like it isn't working to its full potential.
- 1:00 PM: Found somewhere to eat and rest
- 2:00 PM: A walk along the water and seeing the city.
- 3:00 PM: Walking around the city.
- 4:00 PM: Seeing a film.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner.
Day 4: Departure (Or, "Goodbye, Copenhagen - You Beautiful, Slightly Confusing Beast")
- Wake up when I wake up: Because, hey, it's travel.
- Pack: With renewed appreciation for the lack of socks I packed.
- Last Danish Pastry. Last Coffee.
- Get to the airport: Wish me luck.
- Say goodbye: I don't want to leave!
- Reflect in the plane: What a journey!
Important Notes:
- Flexibility is Key: This is just a suggestion. Feel free to ditch the plan, go with the flow, and embrace the chaos.
- Embrace the "Lost Tourist" Look: Trust me, everyone's been there. Ask for help! The Danes are (mostly) lovely.
- Be Prepared to Laugh at Yourself: Because you will do something ridiculous. Probably several things.
- Learn Some Basic Danish Phrases: "Tak" (thank you) and "Hej" (hello) go a long way. And maybe "Hvordan går det?" (How are you?). Just in case.
- Relax and Enjoy: You're in Copenhagen! It's going to be amazing, even if it's a little messy.
So, there you have it. My completely unpolished, imperfect, and totally honest Copenhagen itinerary. Go forth, explore, and have an adventure! And whatever you do, try not to lose your socks… or your sanity.

Copenhagen Chic Apartment: Your Questions, My Answers (Let's Get Real)
Okay, spill the beans. Is it REALLY "chic" like the listing says? Because let's be honest, the internet lies.
Alright, let's dive in. Chic? Yes, mostly. Think Scandi minimalism meets "I actually live here, not just model furniture for Insta." The wood floors gleam (mostly, unless I've just spilled coffee, which...happens), the light is insane, and the whole place smells vaguely of hygge and expensive candles. But! And this is important. Real-life chic ain't perfect. There's a tiny scuff on the wall (blame the overly enthusiastic IKEA flatpack adventure). The sofa, while gorgeous, has a permanent dent from a particularly intense Netflix binge. So, yes. Chic. With character. (Read: a touch of my clumsy self.)
The listing says "newly renovated." What does that *actually* mean? Because I've seen "newly" interpreted very… generously.
Newly renovated? Okay, this is where I get passionate, and by passionate, I mean I'll probably ramble a bit. They gutted this place. Like, *totally* gutted it. I'm talking bare brick, rewired, re-plumbed... the works. It's not just a fresh coat of paint slapped over ancient plumbing. The bathroom? DREAMY. Seriously considered taking up permanent residence in the shower. BUT, and there's always a but, the initial renovation caused the occasional "surprise" – like discovering a rogue nail head sticking out from the skirting board (thankfully, I'm not a klutz, *mostly*). So, yeah, properly new. And a little battle-scarred from the process, like me.
Location, location, location! City Center, right? How noisy is it? Like, can I sleep or will it be a non-stop party outside my window?
Oh, city center. It's a double-edged sword, isn't it? The vibe is incredible. Bakeries a stone's throw away, canals just begging for a sunset stroll, all the good stuff. The noise? Well… it depends on your tolerance level. It's not *quiet* quiet. You will hear the distant clatter of bicycle bells (a Copenhagen symphony!), the occasional tipsy singalong post-pub (charming!), and the distant rumble of a garbage truck at 6 am (less charming). I invested in some seriously good earplugs. They're my friends. My very, very good friends. But the trade-off? Totally worth it. Being able to stumble (post-coffee, obviously) out into the heart of the city? Priceless (well, except for the rent, which is… yeah).
Kitchen: Is it actually usable? I'm a foodie. Can I cook a feast, or is it more for show?
Oh, the kitchen. My personal battleground! It's gorgeous, don't get me wrong. Sleek, modern appliances, enough counter space (mostly) for a culinary masterpiece. The light! Divine light! It's where the magic happens... and sometimes, the minor disasters. I actually *did* attempt a lasagna once. Let's just say, the cleanup required some serious elbow grease and a stern talking-to of myself. It's usable. Definitely. You can absolutely cook. But be prepared to occasionally unleash your inner Gordon Ramsay on that stubborn oven (it's a learning curve, people!). Bonus points: It comes equipped with the essentials. But bring your own spice rack. Because, let's be honest, who trusts a spice rack that isn't their own?
Any quirky things about the apartment? Like, secrets, unusual features, or things that made you go "huh?"
Oh, yes! There's a secret! Well, not a "secret" exactly, more of a… hidden architectural quirk. There's a tiny, almost-undetectable alcove in the living room. I’ve no idea what it was originally intended for. Maybe storage? A place to hide your tax returns? I suspect it's where the apartment's ghost (if it has one) chills out. I've filled it with books. Another quirky thing, something I struggled with at first, the light switches, they are completely backward. It took me weeks to get used to switching the lights off, rather than on. And the view from the bedroom window… it's straight into a charming courtyard. Sometimes, I catch myself just staring out the window at the other people's lives. I feel a little guilty when I do that.
What's the Wi-Fi situation like? Because let's face it, no Wi-Fi, no happy traveler.
The Wi-Fi? Fear not, my digitally-dependent friends. It's fast. Seriously fast. I can stream, video call, and generally procrastinate without a single buffering wheel of doom. Praise be! The password is a bit of a tongue-twister (something involving a combination of Danish words and numbers that I can never remember, and have written on a post-it note stuck to the fridge), but once you're in, you're golden. Consider yourself warned, though: the temptation to binge-watch everything will be overwhelming. You've been warned.
Okay, I'm sold. How do I book, and what's the deal with the deposit/cleaning fee/etc.?
Alright, welcome to the "almost booked" club! Booking details are all in the proper listing. It's all very official and boring (sorry, I'm a bit more of a "wing-it, see what happens" kind of person). Deposit? Yes. Cleaning fee? Also yes (because, trust me, after a week in here... it'll need it!). Read the fine print. It's important. Seriously. And ask questions! I'm happy to answer anything (within reason). Seriously, I want you to love this place as much as I do. (And, hopefully, leave it in a vaguely decent state). My one humble request: treat it with the respect it deserves. And please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t try to cook the aforementioned lasagna. Unless you're REALLY confident.
Is there anything you *wish* you'd known before you moved in? Any hidden downsides?
Oh, you want the *real* dirt? Okay, brace yourself. I'll tell you the one thing I didn't fully appreciate until *after* I moved in. It's the window cleaning situation. My God, the windows! They're gorgeous, massive things that let in all that glorious Danish light... and also all the street grime. KeepingUptown Lodging
