The apartment is at the heart of Gamla Stan, and it was super convenient to access the subway, grocery stores, and a number of great sights in the area. The apartment was much larger than I had expected and was great for accommodating four adults and three children. There were a lot of steps to the apartment but it was not a problem for any of us, including a two-year old toddler and even carrying a small folding pram.
Overall, the apartment was comfortable and easy given the location and the cost. We were pleased by the experience. We were provided with enough sheets and towels.
There were a few improvements that would have made this a five star experience.
- we were in Stockholm in early July, which meant that there was only a few short hours of darkness. The rooms did not have black out shades, which made sleeping difficult.
- also, it would have been helpful to have some advice for tourists regarding things to do. Our experience with other rental properties where we get local recommendations have always been spot on and we would have loved to get some of those thoughts from the owners/locals.
- we were asked to help keep the apartment clean, but we were provided limited cleaning supplies, including no paper towels, which would have helped the efforts.
- the kitchen didn’t quite have enough supplies. We were only able to find one frying pan that worked with the stove top.
