Copenhagen DREAM Apartment: HUGE Balcony & City Center Views! - A Messy, Honest Review (And Some Rambling)
Alright, strap yourselves in folks, because I'm about to spill the tea (or maybe the kaffe – we're in Copenhagen, after all!) on the Copenhagen DREAM Apartment. HUGE Balcony & City Center Views! Which, let me tell you, is a mouthful. And truthfully? My experience was a bit of a mixed bag. But hey, isn't that life?
Let's start with the good stuff, because, honestly, that balcony? Chef's kiss.
The View & The Vibe (The Good!)
The absolute selling point, and the reason I booked this place in the first place, was that balcony. Seriously, it deserved its own address. HUGE doesn't even cut it. It was practically a second apartment! And the city center views? Stunning. Think iconic Copenhagen rooftops, a sliver of canal, and the general buzz of a city that seems to have mastered the art of hygge. I parked myself out there practically non-stop. Coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the evening… bliss. Especially since I'm used to living in a shoebox apartment, this was just… dreamy. (Okay, I am using the name of the apartment to describe it…but I do not regret it). You could tell they really put thought into Room Decorations - they understood the importance of making a space feel comfortable.
And let's appreciate the elevator. Coming from someone who's lugged suitcases up five flights of stairs in various European cities, the Elevator was greatly appreciated - a small luxury that speaks volumes.
Accessibility (and My Woes!)
Okay, let's get real about accessibility. I’m not wheelchair-bound, but I have some mobility issues. While the elevator was a lifesaver (see above!), I didn't see a ton of specific accommodations for wheelchairs. I did note the Facilities for disabled guests, listed in the detail, but I would need to know more to confirm that, it can be a bit of a gamble.
Cleanliness and Safety (The Essentials, And A Bit More!)
The apartment felt clean. Everything looked crisp and fresh, although I'm not sure I was looking for Anti-viral cleaning products. Everything needs to be cleaned nowadays, I reckon. The focus on daily disinfection in common areas and rooms sanitized between stays put my mind at ease, especially in the current climate (that bloody virus!). They also had Hand sanitizer readily available, and thankfully, Staff trained in safety protocol.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Breakfast, a Brief Affair!)
I didn’t eat at any restaurants (as Copenhagen is a city to be explored!), so I can't comment much. But I did use the included coffee/tea maker to its full extent, enjoying the complimentary tea and making myself a cup of coffee to enjoy it on the balcony again. Breakfast? Well, the website mentioned breakfast takeaway service, but I honestly didn't inquire. I'm a "grab-a-pastry-from-a-bakery-and-eat-it-in-the-sunlight" kind of breakfast person. Copenhagen is great for exactly this.
Services and Conveniences (The Little Extras!)
Daily housekeeping was a lifesaver, especially after I may have spilled a glass of wine on THAT balcony (oops!). Laundry service would have been great if I had used it. I did my own, as I ended up in a bit of a pinch and needed to leave with as little washing as possible. The luggage storage was perfect for storing my bags for a while when I went shopping. Wi-Fi [free] was a must-have for me so I could share all the great photos I took, and Air conditioning in public area and Air conditioning are important for anyone.
Things to do, ways to relax (The Wellness Factor - Or Lack Thereof!)
Okay, I'm a sucker for a good spa day. But this apartment… well, it wasn’t exactly a wellness retreat. There was nothing mentioned in the description! So forget your Spa, Sauna, Steamroom, or Massage. No Pool with view here, folks! You're on your own to find your chill. Luckily for me, I found it on that balcony.
For the Kids (Not My Forte!)
Didn't exactly travel with any rugrats, so I can't speak to any aspect of this. Sorry, kids!
Getting Around (Copenhagen is a Cyclist's Paradise!)
I didn't actually book the Airport transfer, or any Car park [free of charge] or Car park [on-site]. I chose the bicycle parking, as Copenhagen is known for. I did use the Taxi service a few times.
Accessibility: A Deeper Dive
Wheelchair Accessible: Mentioned as 'Available' but lacking specifics. Accessibility notes: Very few. Stairs will probably be a problem. Elevador, so that's great.
The Not-So-Dreamy Bits (Because Life Isn't Instagram, Folks!)
Okay, here’s where my inner grumbling comes out. The kitchen… well, let's just say it was functional, but the kitchen and tableware items weren't quite as sparkly as the rest of the place. You know what I mean? It felt clean, just not… brand new.
Internet and other stuff
The Internet access (and Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!), was a bit patchy at times. I'm guessing since the apartment is so well-travelled. It's a small thing but in the work-from-home world, a reliable internet connection is kind of a necessity.
Check-in/out [express].
The apartment was pretty busy and that was something that I hadn’t considered. This lead to a slight delay at check-in/out [express]. I was hoping for a private check-in, as the Check-in/out [private] was not available.
Final Verdict (The Rambling Conclusion!)
Would I recommend the Copenhagen DREAM Apartment? Yes, with reservations.
Here’s the bottom line: If you're looking for a central location with a killer balcony and don't require a lot of bells and whistles (especially in the wellness department), this place is a solid choice. Just pack your own spa vibes and a good book. However, if you have mobility issues, clarify accessibility details before booking. And, prepare for the occasional internet hiccup. But hey, that balcony… breathes deeply… worth it. Definitely worth it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to dream of that view again.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is life, Copenhagen edition. We're talking messy hair, questionable food choices, and a healthy dose of existential dread (just kidding… mostly). We're starting in a beautiful, sunny apartment in Copenhagen. I can almost smell the Hygge already. Let's go:
The Copenhagen Chaos Itinerary (Because Perfection is Overrated)
Day 1: Arrival and Apartment Adoration (Plus, a Near-Disaster)
- Morning: Arrive at Copenhagen Airport (CPH). Ugh, airports. Always a mix of jet lag and the desperate hope my suitcase actually made it. Thankfully, it did. Grabbed the Metro, which was eerily efficient, and headed towards my palace (aka, my Airbnb).
- Afternoon: Unpack, settle in. The apartment? Stunning. Seriously, the "spacious bright apartment with a balcony in the center of Copenhagen" description…it was understating things. Sunshine pouring in, big windows, minimalist design. I instantly felt like a sophisticated Dane, ready to conquer the world (or at least find a decent bakery). Stood on the balcony, breathing in the crisp air. This is the dream!
- Afternoon (Continued): Disaster almost struck. Decided a celebratory coffee was in order. Walked to a nearby cafe, ordered a latte, and promptly tripped over my own feet. Nearly spilled the entire damn latte on a very well-dressed woman in a bright red coat. Mortified. Managed to save the coffee (thank the gods), but my pride was dented. Her expression? A mixture of amusement and pity. Copenhagen, you’re already judging me.
- Evening: Dinner. Tackled some Danish cuisine. Smorrebrod. Or as I like to call it, "open-faced sandwich that looks elegant but also a bit intimidating." Was it good? Yes. Was I sure what I was eating? Not entirely. Ended the night with a stroll along Nyhavn, the colorful harbor. Gorgeous…but also touristy. Started to feel the loneliness of travelling alone.
Day 2: Canals, Castles, and a Culinary Quest
- Morning: Canal tour! Okay, maybe the boat was a little cheesy, but the views were incredible. Saw the Little Mermaid (smaller than I expected, to be honest). Learned some history, which I've already forgotten. Still, it's always nice to get a different perspective on a city.
- Afternoon: Rosenborg Castle! Walked through the King's Garden afterward. It was so peaceful. I felt like I was in a fairytale. I may have actually skipped at one point.
- Afternoon (Continued): Okay. Full disclosure: I love food. Specifically, I love finding amazing food. So, I embarked on a mission – to find the best cinnamon roll in Copenhagen. Hours of research (read: Google Maps and a fervent desire for carbs) led me to… a tiny bakery. And. Oh. My. God. These were transcendent. Warm, gooey, perfectly spiced. I may or may not have eaten three. Don't judge me. Seriously, if you only do one thing in Copenhagen, find this bakery.
- Evening: More eating. This time a restaurant recommended by the owner of my apartment. It was so good! The food was inventive, and the decor was cozy. It was expensive..and I didn't care. One of the best meals of my life.
Day 3: Art, Anxiety, and a Bike Ride of Triumph (and Trauma)
Morning: Glyptoteket museum. Beautiful sculptures. I love art as long as I'm not being forced. The sheer number of naked statues was a little…much.
Afternoon: Bike rental! Copenhagen is a biking city. Which meant I had to try it. The first 30 minutes were pure terror. I almost ran over a dog (sorry, dog!), cut off a cyclist (apologies!), and nearly face-planted into a canal (again, almost). Then, something clicked. I started to get it. Cycled through the city, feeling like a true Dane. Freedom! Wind in my hair! Pure joy!
Afternoon (Continued): Then I started to get ambitious. Tried a slightly more challenging route. Ended up on a cobblestone street. Bumpy. Very bumpy. Lost control. Fell. Scraped my knee. Tore my jeans. Pride, once again, severely wounded. The victorious bike ride immediately turned into a 'walk of shame'.
Evening: A bit of a pity-party in my apartment. Bandaged knee, a bag of chips, and Netflix. Needed the comfort. But after I was re-energized, I visited a jazz bar. Which was an absolute treat!
Night: More snacks. More existential crises. Maybe Copenhagen is just a reflection of my internal chaos. Or maybe I just need more cinnamon rolls.
Day 4: Freetown, Farewell, and Flights
Morning: Travelled to Freetown Christiania. Very…unique. Definitely a different vibe from the rest of the city. A strange mix of curiosity and unease. Didn't stay long, but an experience nonetheless.
Afternoon: Shopping! Bought a ridiculously expensive (but I had to have it) design piece. Decided on a final coffee, again, almost dropped it. And did I mention, I forgot about my flight?!
Afternoon (Continued): Rushed to the airport. Barely made it. Stress levels at an all-time high.
Evening: On the plane. Exhausted. And already missing Copenhagen. The good, the bad, the cinnamon rolls. It was an adventure.
Post-Trip Thoughts:
Copenhagen, you beautiful, confusing, and slightly terrifying city. You've challenged me, humbled me, and fed me some of the best pastries of my life. I’ll be back. And next time, I’ll try to master the bike. Might bring a helmet this time. Or maybe just a therapist. Either way, it was worth it.
