Description At First Blush: Copenhagen

Cosy yet small, At First Blush is a typical Copenhagen home. We love its feminine vibes and elegant touches – the abundance of posters, artworks and trinkets are particular favourites. Vesterbro is a hipster mecca and great for the younger, artsy crowd. There are plenty of coffee shops, independent eateries and design boutiques nearby, especially since Kødbyen is just down the road. It is worth noting that parts of Istedgade are still a little rough around the edges, which becomes more and more visible the closer you get to Copenhagen Central Station.

Home truths:
*Caroline would love it if you could help out by watering her plants
*The bedroom is on the small side
*It’s on the third floor with no elevator – not everyone will appreciate the free work-out
*In true Copenhagen fashion, the bathroom is very small
*The shower is more of a wet room than a cabin – the entire bathroom floor will get wet when you shower
*It’s a lived-in home, expect to share the space with some of the host’s belongings
*Vesterbro is a former working-class district turned hipster paradise – but this part of the neighbourhood that’s closer to Copenhagen Central station is still a little rough around the edges
