The location was perfect easy access to subway and bus very walkable area of the city.

The location was terrific - close to shops, transport and a lot of the major sightseeing locations that interested us, such as the VasaMuseet. The apartment is also within easy walking distance to the city centre and Gamla Stan, and is in a very quiet location. The streets are lined with trees which made it feel very relaxing. William was an attentive host, and ensured that if we had any questions they were addressed quickly.

Beware the stairs - the information for the apartment states that it is on the ground floor, however it doesn't mention having to climb about 12-13 steps from the front door of the building, then go down about 16-18 steps (around a door that juts out into the stairwell) to get to the apartment itself. As an older couple we particularly booked wanting a ground floor apartment so that we weren't having to negotiate steps with our luggage. The curtains, particularly in the living room, were not suitable for an apartment that is overlooked by other apartments. The couch was not terribly comfortable, hence the comfort score above.

The apartment is located in the prestigious 19th-century Ostermalm district, right next to Karlaplan, on a quiet, leafy street. It's right next to the Karlaplan metro station and the Fältöversten shopping center (which houses, among others, an ICA and Hemkop; the other ICA is on the other side of Karlaplan). Buses from Karlaplan are also available, providing easy access to Waldemarsudde and Thielska Galeriet, among other places. The apartment is ideally equipped for even a very long stay (dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, electric heater, etc.). However, please note that the apartment is located in the basement, requiring access via steep, winding stairs (19), and there are also stairs from the ground floor entrance. This characteristic should be clearly noted in the description, as such stairs can be a significant obstacle for older people with mobility issues. In addition, very good contact with the manager.

The main drawback was a damaged shower seal. It was impossible to shower without splashing water on the bathroom floor. We had to wipe the floor with paper towels after showering. The owner absolutely MUST replace the shower seal! It's hard to understand why this wasn't addressed. We also believe that the window curtains should be opaque (they are only opaque in the bedrooms, not in the living room).

The location was excellent. Situated in a lovely street close to the park, restaurants,supermarket. We walked everywhere, The host William was very responsive and lovely.

We loved our stay there but just to let people know there are about 10 steps up to the landing and then a spiral type staircase down to the apartment.
