A Viking Treasure

As Copenhagen boltholes go, this is as central as it gets. Strøget, the mile-long pedestrianised shopping street, is right on your doorstep. All the must-see sights are within strolling distance. And should you need to be somewhere fast, Gammel Strand Metro is just a four-minute walk away. While there's plenty of space to spill out in that light-filled living room with table tennis set-up, it's worth noting the last two bedrooms are pocket-sized, with limited floor space. Also, there's only one bathroom – so be prepared for some waiting around in the mornings. But for a home this central, we can let that slide.

Home truths:
*The last two bedrooms are quite snug, with limited storage space. The beds are pushed against both walls, making them only accessible from the bottom, and one of the bedrooms doesn't have a window, so daylight is limited. We think they're best for children or teens. *A free cot and high chair are available on request. *There's only one bathroom in this home. *You'll access this home via some steep and narrow steps. *You won't find basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is just a short walk away. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
