As advertised this apartment is spacious and bright. Located in the charming Gamla Stan area, close to subway, supermarket, bars and shops.
As we travelled with 5 persons, it was a comfort to have the 2 toilets in the apartment. One directly adjacent to the main living area and the other in the bathroom.
Communication goes through a hosting agency. They’re well reachable, offering to help and advice, and quick with response.
But there are also some downsides.
The apartment is on the 5th floor, no elevator, so be prepared to climb a lot of stairs.
Despite clear and swift communication with the hosting organization directly after booking, specifically on the amount of bedrooms needed (we would be needing all 4 bedrooms and beds to be made) the 4th bedroom was not readied upon check in and it took some time for the cleaners to come back and arrange. Also the dryer and washing machine were still running when we arrived. Since we didn’t know where to store its contents, we let it be for the 4 days of our stay.
The bedrooms are not equipped with real beds, all are double sofa beds. These are comfortable enough though, with the exception of the sofa bed in the small bedroom which was not a pleasure to sleep on.
The shower is running on a boiler, with hot water supply limited to two quick showers. In about 10/15 minutes the boiler is heated up again for the next 2 persons.
The shower area looks big at first, but is really small as the shower curtain hangs off an inclined ceiling: it’s impossible to shower without touching the curtain. Also the shower head didn’t fit well into the holder and bending over to pick it up from the floor gets you covered with curtain.
All in all, it made me doubt the premium price of 317 euros per night we paid.
