Despite being marketed as a nonsmoking home, we were greeted by a bloom of cigarette stench upon arrival; a sign in the kitchen even says NO SMOKING. Our clothes still smell after returning home, and the odor made it difficult to linger in the apartment. This is unfair to people who are affected by smoke, such as ourselves.
Perhaps worst of all is the location, which is on a busy alleyway in the old town, Gamla Stan. It's to be expected that there's noise, but anyone who isn't a heavy sleeper should be warned that this is not the place for them. Garbage trucks and street sweepers come by at 5 a.m., and they will shake you out of bed with their commotion. The small window (which does not latch properly) opens up onto a couple restaurant seating areas, and because it was so hot we could not have the window closed (and people eating outside can see into the apartment!). A single turbo-sounding tower fan provided a bit of relief but was too loud to sleep with and was not enough to drive the smell out of the apartment.
The apartment is neat and clean, with exposed brick against white, but it has very low ceilings, so tall people had best avoid it. It also has quirks that need to be called out, such as a nasty half-step from/into the kitchen and living area and a glass partition in the bathroom that is nearly impossible to see. The water kettle had been used for cooking and was filled with scum, and the insanely complicated stove and burner were impossible to use -- there was no manual, and we even tried to look up instructions online to no avail (and who has time for that?).
The stairs are charmingly narrow, unless you have luggage.
You will be marketed to about the burger joint downstairs.
Overall, a major disappointment.
