We stayed here during Christmas week 2021 and it was magical. Gamla Stan is like a Christmas village with decorated shops and restaurants, advent lights twinkling in almost every window, and a wonderful Christmas market just two blocks away with best glogg we ever had. Navigating Stockholm from here is an easy ride by metro or ferry. The location and atmosphere cannot be beat! We also just LOVED coming into such a warm, cozy apartment after being out in the cold. The apartment is very charming, with wide wood plank floors and etchings of country barns. It reminded me of a warm country cottage. There is a preschool across the street and another school a few blocks away, so sounds of children often fill the street. I loved hearing that. We did not have a lack hot water which some of the other commenters mentioned, but we were aware of this so we alternated our showers to conserve hot water. Also, I would have liked a few more cooking pans and platters in the kitchen because we like to cook, but we made due with what was there. Overall, I highly recommend staying here.
