It’s evident that Mikkel loves reading. Books are hiding in every corner of his home, manifesting his personality in the feel and look of the home. We love this home’s retro feel, the most outstanding features being the collection of classic Danish design furniture. Mikkel is an analogue kind of guy, so there’s no TV in his home. But why not use that as an opportunity to take advantage of all the things to do in his home (large vinyl collection and record player, books, fully equipped kitchen), as well as bustling Nørrebro, an oasis for artsy, creative types.

About Nørrebro
Nørrebro is Copenhagen’s melting pot. Historically a scruffy working-class neighbourhood, it’s transitioned into being home to much of Copenhagen’s younger population, students and arty crowd. In Nørrebro, you will also find some of the city’s more unusual tourist attractions like Assistens Cemetery and the urban park, Superkilen, that’s been designed with a homage to the neighbourhood’s multicultural inhabitants. This part of the city is big on food and drink, so...

Sample some ciders at Kølsters Tolv Haner

Go for a cosy brunch at Sidecar

Try something new at Manfreds
As a farm-to-table restaurant, Manfreds is closely connected to its organic farm. Fresh vegetables are harvested every day - so it doesn't really get any fresher than that.

Host
This home is managed by Mikkel
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. A psychologist and avid reader, Mikkel is one of those hosts that’s welcoming and easy to talk to. He loves spending time in his home (he calls it his little oasis), so he’s very excited to share it with like-minded souls. He’s specialised in psychoanalysis and dislikes modern installations, which is why you won’t find a TV in his home.
This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
