Gold Standard

Located right on Islands Brygge, you're certainly getting your money's worth when it comes to the beautiful views on offer from this stunning home courtesy of large picture windows in every room. Modern to the core, this place oozes glamour in a streamlined way. The attention to detail is off the charts, with textured materials aplenty, plus elegant storage solutions and an inviting balcony looking out over the water. Speaking of which – trust the Danes to have a harbour so clean you can swim in it (the water quality is tested daily). The waterfront offers plenty of summer fun, with five pools, three diving towers, and a large lawn with plenty of space for sunbathing. It's no surprise then that it's one of the most popular places in the city for Copenhageners to come when the sun's out. Access to the rest of the city couldn't be easier – just cross over the pedestrianised Lille Langebro bridge, and you can be in the centre in approximately fifteen minutes, with plenty to see along the way.

Home truths:
* There are two beds in Bedroom 2 – though there is a sliding door that you can use to separate them, it won't provide the privacy of a proper wall
*This home does not accept toddlers or children
*There’s no washing machine or dryer – you’ll have to do your laundry elsewhere
* Convenient self check-in via smart lock
* There are nineteen steps leading to the front door, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
