The Design Show

This stunning apartment is a real one-of-a-kind in the Danish capital. Not only is it in a wonderful location (the Little Mermaid and Amalienborg Palace are only ten minutes away), but it merges historic features with contemporary Danish design in the most elegant way possible. It's a rarity to find homes this large in Copenhagen – especially complete with modern bathrooms – so we were thrilled when this one came across our desk. The bedrooms are among the most stylish we're seen, with forest green feature walls, eye-catching artwork and headboards held by leather straps. While the Crittal-style glass partition walls of the second and third bedrooms are certainly a conversation starter. On long summer days, a couple of French doors open out onto Juliette balconies so you can let the fresh air and that city buzz inside. As a bonus, this three-bedroom home is located along the Crown Prince's preferred cycling route, so you might catch a glimpse of him as he whizzes past on his bike. So if you're set on exploring Copenhagen on foot, by bike, or on the water, this is the ideal choice for you.

Home truths:
*The second bathroom is split into two – the WC and shower unit are in separate rooms
*This home sleeps eight guests, but two of them would be on a sofa bed in the living room
*We love the glass partitions in bedrooms two and three – but they’re not great at isolating sound from the hallway – these bedrooms can be set up in either twin or double configurations
*The living room has seating for two or three guests at a time
*Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available upon request
*There's a lift, but there is a narrow spiral staircase to negotiate once you're inside so it's not suitable for families with young children, or those with limited mobility
*Some of the bedrooms don't have exterior windows
