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, from 26 May to 11 June, 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 17 days, from 26 May to 11 June, 2006.
    • 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 (an allergic to cats)
  • Canadian
  • able to provide references, both in Copenhagen and from previous temporary rentals
