My mom and I stayed for just a few days and it was the PERFECT location! Close to some really great food (Gastabud was delicious and just right downstairs!) and also in close proximity to bridges going both north and south from Gamla Stan (if you want to see more than just the old city). This meant we weren’t dragging our bags across cobblestone for too long like many tourists we saw. The streets in the old city are so small that most cars/taxis don’t drive down further into Gamla Stan.
For those traveling with older folks or light sleepers: because the home is old, the stairs are pretty steep and the floors/doors are loud when you’re moving around. I couldn’t get up in the morning without waking my mom! She ended up sleeping with her headphones in which worked out well.
Other than that, our trip was delightful!! We would recommended to just about anyone!
