Small house in Nuuk, with great views.

MathildeRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Charlotte's house provided the perfect setting for our family (two adults and two children, ages 3 and 5). The house decor and size gave us the feeling of being in a summer house, where socializing was inevitable as the lower floor, besides the entrance and bathroom, consists of one room with a living room, dining room and kitchen, which via the stairs was in open connection to the upper floor's only room. And it worked so well! There was everything we needed in the kitchen, and there were even some basic groceries for free use. As the sun peeked out during our stay, we also enjoyed staying on the terrace. And then there were some lovely evening walks down to the water, and easy to get to shopping, bus, cafes, etc. We are so happy that we chose to stay at Charlotte's house in the small month we were in Greenland, and would stay there again if we are lucky enough to come back to Nuuk.

Rebekah's lovely apartment created the setting for an amazing week in Nuuk. Walk distance to beach, city, and overall a really good location. In the apartment there was everything you need.

Christian’s place was ideal for us for a week’s stay in Nuuk. As described, the apartment was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. Christian was both responsive and helpful. The ever-changing sea view with sea-ice and icebergs was amazing, and we enjoyed the easy walk into town. Overall a very positive AirBnB experience.

It was a huge pleasure to be a guest at Sikki's place! Super good communication before, during and when we were leaving the house. All facilities were in order, really cozy house- perfect for the three of us colleagues who stayed together for 8 days. Good beds, nice kitchen, dining room and cozy living room. Nothing to complain about at all - and if we are going to Nuuk again, we will definitely see if we can book Sikki's lovely house again. Best recommendations from here🙌

I stayed in Aqqaluk’s apartment for two weeks and I enjoyed my stay. It’s simple and has all I needed. The location is also excellent - approximately 10 minutes walk from downtown (Nuuk Center, Katuaq, etc) and just a few hundred meters from the art museum. Aqqaluk was very responsive and the self check in was very easy as I arrived very late the first night. There is also an elevator in the building, which is also useful when travelling with a few luggages.

Great appartement in Nuuk city

ChristineRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Our family of 4 adults really enjoyed this great top floor apartment. Lots of light and great view of the mountains and sea from the balcony. Short walk to the center of town with many choices of shops and restaurants/cafes. Beds and linens seemed new and our rooms were cozy warm when we arrived. Wi-Fi worked well and we were able to watch programs via YouTube on the living room T.V. Martin and Anna were able to arrange a pick-up for us at the Nuuk airport with a large van and a friendly Samoyed which was appreciated. Kitchen was spacious with basic supplies, including filter coffee maker, tea kettle, microwave oven and a toaster. There is not a lot of cookware for heavy use in the kitchen, but that did not bother us, as we went out to enjoy the Greenlandic food scene (Snowcrabs at Esme’s Lounge across the street is not to be missed!). There was plenty enough however for us to use for breakfast and snacks, as well as a dishwasher for easy clean-up. Would definitely stay again!

A modern kitchen area is displayed, featuring a stylish table with four chairs and a sleek black countertop. Appliances include an oven and a refrigerator, with a television mounted on the wall. Pendant lights hang above the counter, contributing to the bright and open design.
