The apartment was bigger than expected (although the kitchen is more of a kitchenette but good enough to cook breakfast or simple meal) although the old town is full of tourists during the day, it was very quiet in the evenings and at night. Most places in Stockholm do not have air conditioning and being there during a heat wave in July made me worry that it would be hard to sleep, but the windows on both ends of the apartment created a nice breeze plus it was close to the water (and the nearby hotel skeppsbron leant us a fan) so it was fine. The place is beautiful and so is the neighbourhood. If coming from central station, I recommend a taxi as it would be a bit of a walk with luggage over cobblestone from the nearest subway station plus up 4 flights of narrow stairs. There are lots of great restaurants nearby and from this location, it’s pretty easy to walk to many other Stockholm neighbourhoods. It is a beautiful walkable city but the transit system is very good too. The hosts are very quick and efficient with responding to questions.
Tack!
