Choosing your vacation lodging in a new city can be tricky. While I adore Google Maps, there’s only so much that can be gained while half-a-world away from your intended destination. When surfing for hotel rooms, I typically start with trusted guidebooks and then move on to travel review websites. In the end, I always make reservations with my fingers crossed.
Hotel rooms in the heart of Copenhagen are expensive and extremely small, but I was determined to maximize our time at the Stroget and minimize our commute time to the major sites. That’s when I began to investigate apartment rental and hit the jackpot with Dansk Bed & Breakfast.

In the heart of the old city, we rented this cutie of an apartment for much less than a nearby hotel room. We enjoyed two bedrooms, a bath, living space (with flat screen TV and stereo system) and a full kitchen. Access off a local street led us to a secure courtyard (with ample bike parking).
Once inside our home-away-from-home we were surprised by the complete and utter lack of noise. It was our private, silent oasis in a bustling city of half a million people.

Added bonus of this apartment: location, location, location! Tucked among the locals who lived in the apartments around us, we were just blocks away from major bus stops, metro stations, grocery stores, and more local eateries than you could shake a stick at.
A quick shout out to the pizza joint just around the block from us: Café Istanbul and its straight-from-heaven pizza! We can't wait to return to this home away from home.
