The studio was spacious and well thought out with a small sofa, TV, table for 4, kitchen with an apartment size refrigerator, microwave, large bathroom with good size shower plus separate tub and a washing machine and separate dryer which was very nice. There is a nice balcony but we did not use as it was sunny there in the afternoon. Not much of a view and the apartment is almost at street level so the view is of the cars and buildings The jalousie was a nice feature to block out the sun. It was fairly quiet except for one night (Saturday night) where there was a loud party. Grocery stores are nearby (across the street and a block away, a natural food store). It was only when we were about to leave (we were there 5 nights) that we found the grocery store below the department store (Karlstad) on the block/corner. It was so convenient and leads right out to the train station with deli, bread, cheese counters and also sushi. So a little bit information about location of stores would have been nice as coffee is not provided. And you will need laundry detergent and hand soap. A larger bath mat would have been nice as it was just big enough to stand with 2 feet. There is no air conditioning but there was a fan. The days we were there were a bit warm. All in all, it is a great studio and excellent location to the train station. And it was easy to take the train 2 stops to catch the Lufthansa bus to the airport.
