My husband and I traveled to Stockholm in July 2016 and debated between staying in Gamla Stan or Stockholm proper. We're so happy we chose Gamla Stan and discovered Elisabeth's apartment. It's located on a quiet street just a few short blocks from the Stortorget square and bustling shopping district. It's surrounded by quaint shops, cafes and restaurants. You'll feel like you're living like a local. Several top sites are right in the neighborhood (such as the Royal Palace and Armory) and it's easy to get to Sodermalm, Djurgarden and downtown Stockholm from here via ferry, tram or on foot.

Elisabeth was able to accommodate our request for an early check-in and we greatly appreciated it. We were greeted by Fredrik who helped us with our luggage (apt. is on the 3rd floor), showed us in and provided some great recommendations for making the most of our short 3 night stay.

The apartment itself felt like home away from home. Spacious, quite comfortable, beautifully decorated, very quiet and safe. Nice heavy drapes blocked the light (thankfully as the sun seems to never set in Summer). We appreciated the nespresso coffee that was provided although there is a lovely cafe (Under Kastanjen - "Under the Chestnut Tree") just a few steps away at the end of the block. The only items we wish had been included were an iron/ironing board and a hair dryer. Perhaps these will be added in the future.

If we're fortunate enough to return to Sweden someday, we would love to stay here again. Thank you, Elisabeth and Fredrik! A wonderful experience overall.
