Negative:
- not welcoming!!! No personal contact, we had no idea who we were renting from. Very industrial feel to this whole process. And an admonishing tone in the "welcome" note posted inside the apartment. We were so glad to leave in the morning.
- cleanliness: the toilet was rather appaling. Also it leaks from the flush gasket into the bowl so you can hear it all night.
- general state: unfinished walls, heaps of mess shut up in the closet, broken furniture, screws rolling around in empty drawers, an empty broken fridge.
- equipment: not a single cooking knife to be found; the closet in the main room is stuffed with mess, and the kitchen cupboard is full of cleaning products, leaving no space to put your things; a new industrial-like glass front fridge that is bright enough to light a stadium and so loud it sounds like it might take off promptly. It was also oddly set on "hot" when we arrived.
We were really surprised after the fact at the previous reviews that seemed happy with the state of things... we were rather shocked at the price-quality ratio.
Some positive:
- great location in the pedestrain area of Gamla Stan. Walkable to pretty much everything in Stockholm and right near a metro stop.
- co-host let us stay longer in our previous airbnb so we could transfer right into this one.
