Wonderful Week/Fantastic Home

8 adults & 4 kids from 15-6 stayed for a week in Taastrup. We loved the place and enjoyed easy access to the S train to get into Copenhagen and local shopping. As a group, we all enjoyed the outdoor table and bedroom layout and the kids loved the indoor play area and hot tub. A point of interest is that it's near the train tracks and so when we were outside we heard trains going by. It did NOT effect sleeping unless we had windows open and overall it was not a complaint - just a reality we were surprised by. Taastrup is 25 minutes from Copenhagen Central station by S train. It was not a factor for us and the trip to/from each day went quickly. Being near the end of the line meant we always had seats going into the city.The home is secluded and we really enjoyed the privacy and appropriateness for our family of all ages. I texted Ulrik a couple times and he responded in a timely fashion. They were gracious and accommodating hosts. Overall, we'd return in a heartbeat and our kids wish we'd do it again.

Great neighborhood, wonderful house, wonderful hosts

This was a delightful visit. The house is immaculate and comfortable, the breakfast was amazing. The neighborhood is peaceful, and Freia and Hartlieb are very kind and interesting hosts. I loved meeting them, and I feel lucky to have been able to see and learn about the sustainability-focused Albertslund area. Also their house is just a 10 minute walk to the S-train, so it's quick to get into Copenhagen, but it's much more peaceful and calm and clean than in the middle of everything. Overall a lovely place to stay!
