Everything about this home was wonderful, with a view over the water and the city so spectacular that one almost felt guilty about looking away and not seeing it. The location high up on the height of Mariaberget was wonderful, and the historic around us had much to offer, both old and new. Restaurants, supermarkets, and other amenities lay close at hand and it was only a short walk to the Mariatorget subway stop.
We chose this apartment in part because it looked able easily to accommodate our multi-generational family of five, which it was, but we got so much more than just adequate space. There was the tremendous hospitality of the owner, who was not only helpful and generous but let us share the apartment's charms with Swedish relatives whom we entertained for dinner one evening. There was also the striking artwork that adorned the walls and shelves. The apartment's kitchen was extremely well supplied and we lacked for nothing in the way of tableware. We can also attest to the high quality of beds and bathrooms.
It should finally be noted that this was definitely not one of those rentals where the hosts have removed almost everything of their own private character and connection in order to provide a neutral lodging space. Instead, we had a clear sense of the generosity of our host in sharing this lovely and beloved home with us. We felt welcomed and privileged to enjoy this apartment as her gusts.
