The location of this apartment is fantastic. Just two blocks from the tunnelbanna Gardet stop which is just three stops from central station and anywhere you would want to be in Stockholm. We know the area and this is what led us to this apartment. The area itself is very quiet for the most part and there is a grocery store within a 5 minute walk as well as two small convenience stores. A fantastic pizza place also just 5 minutes away.
Communication with Fredrik is very quick and easy. He responded extremely quickly anytime I contacted him. Entry to the apartment was also very easy with the keys in a lockbox outside. It is clean and cute with tasteful decor.
The apartment is very small but fine for up to 3 people for a short stay. However, we stayed for almost three weeks and it’s not a great apartment for such a long stay. The bedroom has just a single bed which we knew, and there is a sofa bed for two. They were both comfortable but we could have used some extra blankets as the nights did get cold. Pillows were also seriously lacking and we actually considered going and buying some ourselves. I ended up using a seat cushion after I couldn’t turn my neck one day because of the tiny, nearly flat pillow.
Everything else provided was pretty bare bones for three people for three weeks. Three towels, three hand towels, four small glasses (there were also coffee mugs so we used those), just four of each eating utensil, one dish towel, etc… there are no baking sheets so we couldn’t make a simple frozen pizza in the oven. The fridge is extremely small (almost hotel room size) and the tiny freezer inside almost completely filled with frost so nearly completely unable to be used. We just ate dinner out every night.
The washing machine does not also dry so note that you will have to air dry your clothing on the balcony. We had to wash towels immediately after showering in the morning which meant having to wait around an extra hour for them to wash so we could get them on the balcony to dry before heading out to enjoy the day each time we needed to do this. Otherwise we would have no towels the next day since we were only provided with one for each of us.
The smart TV is basically useless if you are from the US and likely any country other than Sweden. Streaming services won’t allow you to stream outside of your own country. All we could watch was the Netflix accounts of the kind previous people who had previously stayed and did not sign out. So, thank you to Simone!
Basically, the apartment is good for one or two people, maybe three for a few nights. It’s really not good for longer stays unless maybe for one person. The location is fantastic though so it may be a trade off.
