Karin's apartment is bright, spacious, quiet and elegantly furnished. It was a joy to spend time relaxing there after busy days in Stockholm. On my request Karin had very kindly split the huge double bed into two singles so I didn't have to share a bed or even a room with my mum. Karin gave us a very warm welcome to her flat, was full of advice and tips and then left us to our own devices. There was no need to contact her during our stay but I felt very confident I could do if any problems arose. The location is absolutely ideal, close to the metro and by far the coolest of the city's neighborhoods. Sodermalm is brimming with great restaurants and bars. My only advice is to book those great restaurants well in advance, probably online before you leave. A couple of restaurants namely 'Nook' and 'Nytorget 6' had brilliant vibes and menus but we just couldn't get in.
