Best (simple) gelato ice cream in town. If you want one of those places that does non-basic variations like 'snickers' etc, then go to 'Ismageriet' - they have multiple locations

For the kids
Some of the places and playgrounds that we enjoy to use that are near by. Some don't have the greatest photos here on AirBnB, but Google them. Frederiksberg/Copenhagen is full of AMAZING playgrounds, so if you want to go a bit further away, we recommend that you google 'best playgrounds copenhagen' and you'll see some amazing themed ones, even one where kids borrow (great quality) bikes for free and can drive around a miniature traffic setting, called 'trafik legepladsen'. There are MANY!

Traveler advice
Getting around
The Metro (600m) is the best way to get around
Nearest station (600m): Aksel Møllers Have Metro. This is part of "Cityringen" (The city ring), which connects you to the entire city.
Otherwise, the bus stops right outside the house on Godthåbsvej which goes towards the city. Or go down to Nordre Fasanvej (200m), and there are lines that go across/vertical of the city.
Getting around
Bikes: Copenhagen style
There are plenty of bike shops near by that rent out bikes. Many of them also rent out cargo bikes, which are popular for families. Alternatively you can rent bike seats for kids.
