My sister and I couldn't be more pleased with our stay in Gamla Stan. We only had a short visit of three days which made it most important that we be in the very center of Stockholm, and the apartment that our host Katia recommended was at the very center. Within a block or two of our apartment there were more good restaurants than one could visit in the time we had. I think my all time favorite was Bistro Ruby. It was almost right outside our door. Down the street was even an Asian noodle shop, which my Asian wife loved. The apartment itself had all the European charm that a suburban American would hope for. The place is situated high enough that you can see the city over the gabled rooftops, and the summer light in the middle of the night gives the town a soft blue glow. About the only thing I would recommend is having the code number to the key lock box some where in the apartment. When we were about to leave I had to search my emails to find the code. The clock in the kitchen could use two AA batteries, but that's it. It was a wonderful place to stay in Stockholm. Thanks
