The kind of town house we’re living in was originally built for shipyard-workers and their families in the 1890's, but today they are some of the most sought after places to live in Copenhagen. Our town house is 140 m2 on a very small quiet street with no thru traffic. There’s a basement, a main floor, and a first and second floor. The basement has a washer, and at the main floor there’s an open kitchen, dining room, sofa, wood burning stove, and garden entrance. The kitchen is brand new, and has a large fridge, a dishwasher, oven, induction cooking top, micro, espresso machine and grinder. The first floor has a small toilet, a children’s bedroom, and a guest bedroom (twin bed) with a small office desk and a flat screen 40” TV. The second floor has the master bedroom with a king size bed, and a brand new, main bathroom with shower and hot tub. Perhaps needless to say there is wireless internet in the house. There is a patio out front to enjoy the afternoon sun, and a small green garden out back for relaxing, etc.
We have two city bikes, a mountain bike and a larger cargo bike called a ‘Christiania-bike’ whish we use daily to drive the kids to their kindergarten. The bicycles as well as our ’96 Volvo 850 Station Wagon could all be part of the exchange.
As the pictures show, we are almost finished with our home renovation (apart from pictures on the wall, etc.).

Inner Copenhagen is made up of downtown Copenhagen and three neighborhoods: Noerrebro, Oesterbro and Vesterbro that all connect to the city center and goes in each direction either to the north, the east or the west. They all have a distinct atmosphere and tons of local shops, cafes and restaurants. You can easily reach all neighborhoods - and all parts of Copenhagen - by bike. Copenhagen is known as a biker’s paradise: everyone living in the city bikes their way around in the city, and you will hardly find a street without designated bike lanes. If you wish, the city has a well-developed public transportation system, busses, the metro (easy transfer to the airport) and the commuter trains (we are 150 meters from a train station and several bus lines). You can bring the bike at no cost on the commuter trains (S-trains). The following links might be useful:

Our house is located in the part of Copenhagen called ’Oesterbro’. This is the greenest of the three neighborhoods. We live very close to a large recreational park and five minutes by bike from the beach, which is quite unique for a house situated so close to the center of Copenhagen (even though we have a lot of coastline in Copenhagen, beaches are not an integral part of the city, the way they are in Vancouver).
We are 4 km from the official center of Copenhagen (City Hall Square) and it will take you 10-20 min. to reach the city center by bike - depending on your pace :-). You will find all the daily needed shops within 5 minutes’ walk from our house. We have a wonderful organic bakery, a large supermarket with lots of high quality organic food, etc. just around the corner.
It’s very easy to get to the country side from where we are located and Elsinore and Kronborg Castle is about a 35 minute train ride away. North of Copenhagen you’ll find many beautiful historic castles, beaches, parks and forests. In Elsinore, you can catch the ferry to Sweden (a 20 minute ride). You can also go to Sweden by train or car over the bridge connecting the two countries. The cities of Paris, France, London, England, Oslo in Norway, Stockholm in Sweden and Berlin in Germany are a 1 hour flight away, with very frequent connections. A return ticket to either of these cities would normally be app 150 CAD if you book a bit in advance. You can also take the train to Stockholm (5 hours) and Berlin (6 hours).
