This is the third Numa property I have stayed at, having previously had great experiences at Arc in Berlin and Flow in Prague. Nørrebro is a little different from my previous stays, as the property is a brand new building a little way out of the city centre, where my other stays have been in older refurbished buildings closer to city centres. This is currently Numa's only property in Copenhagen though and I was keen to stick with them as I enjoy the relaxed, no nonsense, no reception, no cleaning staff etc. approach Numa employs. You definitely notice you are not really in the centre of Copenhagen, but it's only a short Metro ride away. The metro station is a short walk, which does include crossing quite a few roads and cycle lanes and the area near the station can be a bit crowded and untidy at times. Seems like an area that is in the process of gentrification at the moment. The nearby building work didn't really bother me however. There are a number of shops and bars nearby if you walk around and look for them. So the location is pretty good, if you're happy using public transport. The building is very modern and the rooms are very clean and tidy. I had an intimate suite with terrace and small balcony. The terrace was very much appreciated as the early September weather was incredibly sunny and warm. The kitchen area was much larger and better equipped than other Numa properties I have stayed at, although lacking a microwave, it did have a fill size hob and oven, so very good for anyone wanting to cook etc. The shower was excellent, but the bathroom had a lot of unused space that would have useful to store toiletries etc. had the sink been set in a unit. I found the mattress not the most comfortable but ok. It would have been nice to have some light switches near the bed and larger bed side tables. Perhaps because this is a new building, it seems to lack the Numa house style I have seen in their other properties. My one major gripe is the lack of air conditioning, perhaps down to the Danes' drive to be super eco friendly. The only windows in my room were velux roof windows which I could not reach or open remotely, which meant the balcony door was the only source of fresh air I could get without feeling a security risk, as the terrace door and room door were accessible to other people. I just about managed to get the room to a comfortable temperature as it was 28 celsius outside. Hopefully the live TV channels will soon be available as they weren't during my stay. So while this was probably my least best stay with Numa, it was still an overall good experience, at a good price and I will certainly look to stay with them again in the future.
