  • Ellie, October 2023: Lovely stay and fab host! Very informative and friendly. Would recommend :) great modern interior and the sofa bed was super comfy! Shower was also great.
  • Daniel, October 2023: Cindy is a very welcoming and professional host who responds very quickly to questions. The apartment is small but perfect for two people - and even though the apartment is on a major road, it didn't bother us much. Belligenheden is good. We went to most things, but there is also a metro link right nearby. I can definitely recommend the apartment.
