Elisabet’s place is spacious, well-appointed, clean, and full of light and air. The strong cross breeze is a welcome feature. The decor is pleasingly minimalist. Elisabet kindly allowed us to check in late, due to our 11 PM arrival (thank you!). Although we didn’t meet Elisabet because of the automatic check in and check out, we really appreciated the responsiveness and streamlined clarity of her Airbnb messaging— both before and during our stay. Her instructions, like the decor, were smartly minimalist and efficient. She trusted our ability to figure out how things work rather than needlessly spelling them out. The amenities were great. The combination washer/dryer was very welcome (we were even able to find an English manual for it online, so using it was no problem). The deck was probably the highlight for us. It faces onto an internal courtyard, basically an enclosed square formed by the backs of multiple apartment buildings and containing bike racks and other useful elements. We felt like residents sitting on the deck eating, drinking, observing, and unwinding. The retractable awning (which blocks both sun and rain) expanded the times of day when we could enjoy the deck. As for the neighborhood, Sodermalm is one of the hippest areas in Stockholm and is conveniently located (with easy access to other areas of the city). Despite the flight of many Stockholm residents to the countryside for the entire month of July, the vibe was still plenty animated for us. The apartment itself, by contrast, was very quiet. Even with the windows open for the cross breeze, the surroundings were generally pretty chill sound-wise. Note that, although the kitchen windows and deck face the internal courtyard, the windows on the opposite side of the apartment (in the living room and bedroom) give a wonderful view of a church steeple and include a playground and other interesting urban areas. Other standouts: the elevator was quite convenient— we were able to fit two people and all our luggage in (though we tended to use the stairs on descent). And of course we appreciated the treats we found on arrival — chocolate and champagne!— as well as the eclectic collection of other foods such as pasta and olive oil. BTW, if you find yourself looking for a restaurant / bar quite close by, we recommend the neighboring urban deli (which has a separate bar and restaurant section as well as a convenient grocery section). We would *not* recommend the restaurant/ bar on the ground floor of the building itself (bad food and glacial service). In sum, we were very happy with our stay in Elisabet’s place, and in the Sodermalm section. We felt lucky to be there. Thank you for a lovely stay!
