Difference between revisions of "Spring in Copenhagen"

Revision as of 15:14, 11 February 2006

I enjoyed being in Copenhagen so much last June for the reboot conference, that Catherine and I are considering spending a month in the city this spring, either before, after or surrounding the 2006 edition of the conference.

I'm lucky to have a helpful teams of Copenhagen residents "on the ground" who've offered to help, and Olle suggested I put together this "requirements" page to aid their aid, so to speak.

So here's what we're looking for, housing wise:

• townhouse or house or apartment in Copenhagen for about 30 days in May and/or June of 2006; perhaps slightly more or slightly less duration
  • at least two bedrooms, one with a double bed or larger (for Catherine and I), the other with single bed (for Oliver)
  • prefer an additional bedroom or other small room that I can use as an office / work space
  • relatively child-friendly (i.e. no moats, spiky artworks, dangling electrical wires)
  • cooking facilities (nothing elaborate, but a workable kitchen)
  • high-speed Internet access (DSL, public wifi, etc. or alternative) a must
  • no need for a telephone
• maximum 10-15 minute walk to public transit (we won't have a car, and cycling with Oliver will sometimes be a challenge)
• prefer a child-friendly neighbourhood -- i.e. other kids, play areas, etc.
• prefer characterful housing as opposed to Soviet-style tower block and will sacrifice some degree of modern conveniences to obtain additional architectural whimsy

We are:

• Three people (Catherine, me, five year old Oliver)
• non-smoking
• pet-free
• Canadian
• able to provide references, both in Copenhagen and from previous temporary rentals

I'll update this page as our plans and requirements become more finely tuned.
