There is no place more central than Eric’s home in Gamla Stan. Is it a bit inundated with tourists? Absolutely. It can be a tourist hell. But from the standpoint of pure convenience, the ability to walk through the oldest streets of Stockholm on a whim, the opportunity to stroll north or south to Sodermalm, to hop on the train - you can’t beat it. As for the apartment itself, the layout is slightly strange but plenty comfortable and spacious enough for 2-4 people. The kitchen downstairs is large with a nice community table. The only downside is that the television doesn’t seem to have cable. Then again, you shouldn’t be inside watching too much television anyway. You should be filling up on Swedish meatballs.
