When you go on holiday do your prefer an airbnb or a hotel? - Or perhaps something in between? When travelling with the crazies I prefer an airbnb but when it's just Per and I - I'd more likely opt for a hotel (or a romantic B&B!) - mainly because I love a good breakfast buffet! But then I discover Airbnb apartments like this one in Copenhagen. Owned by an architect, the three-bedroom apartment is situated on one of the capital's most sought after streets and features beautiful sky-blue walls, light wood features and a blend of antique and new nordic design pieces. Who's to say you can't nip to the local bakery and pick up a fantastic wienerbrød (Danish pastry) and freshly brewed coffee to go in the morning?! The next time I'm in Denmark's capital city, I'm totally checking in here - and I might just never leave! Could you imagine staying here too?
"Both architects, we transformed this historic apartment into a comfortable and calm home. With a focus on natural and luxurious materials, we have allowed the history of the place to inspire the design."
I love the backsplash. I spotted something similar in this magical Norwegian mountain cabin. You can create a similar one by treating a sheet of copper with acid for an aged look.
"The apartments finished with a mixture of mid-century Scandinavian furniture, contemporary furniture, auction finds, and pieces from Justine's home in South Africa."

Isn't it beautiful? I love the sky blue and copper touches in particular.
If you're visiting Copenhagen and would like to hang out here for a while, the apartment is available through Airbnb right here.
Fancy exploring some other Airbnb options in Scandi-land? Here are a few I've got my eye on:
Two idyllic Danish cabins
A beautiful apartment in Bergen (love this!)
A hygge Danish log cabin near the sea
An off-the-grid getaway on an island in the Helsinki archipelagos
A romantic lakeside schoolhouse in Sweden
Quite a varied list, I must say! Which would you choose?
I've got to hurry home from there studio now as a local Malmö paper is coming to my house for a home story - so fun! God knows how the kids left it this morning but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of tidying up to be done. Gah!
Have a lovely day!

I, like you, LOVE a good breakfast buffet but would always opt for an Airbnb as it just provides so much more comfort and freedom than a hotel (unless I am travelling alone, then hotels are the best). I can't travel for vacations any other way any longer. It afforded me to be able to travel more often to more places than I would have if I had to stay in hotels and always eat in restaurants. Plus you get to stay in stylish places like this one, much better than a hotel.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Hotels are good for one or two days but an Airbnb makes a great home from home for longer periods :)
