Central 3BR Apartment by Royal Palace & Old Town

Die Lage war perfekt in der Innenstadt. So konnte man alle wichtigen Punkte schnell reichen.

Der Eingangsbereich war sehr mysteriös und leider veraltet und dreckig

Absolutely fabulous location, easily walkable to all in Gamla Stan and beyond, with linking ferries (80 and 82) to various islands / stops also close by. Numerous restaurants, eateries and drinks facilities literally on the doorstep. Bright, charming apartment with so many historical and interesting features. Photos provided are a true representation of the apartment and sofa and beds are very comfortable. Overall kitchen is well equipped but couple of misses… see below… Layout is quirky but adds to charm and worked ok for us 2 flights stairs up from back entrance and 3 flights up from front entrance tested 60 + knees but ok if taken slow and steady! Thank you for opening your home apartment to we travellers….

For price, think cleanliness needs to be better… quite dusty in places, communal space outside front door could do with more welcoming spruce up and oven needs degreasing, as when on gave acrid burnt grease smell through apartment. Realise someone must have broken glass part of coffee percolator before we arrived, but meant no means to make coffee without balancing bowl under filter and then re-heating in microwave, so essentially no functioning coffee machine… would not have been unreasonable to have had a cafetière provided instead… kicking myself didn’t think to message owners during our stay… Windows in only true bedroom at back of apartment won’t close, so noisy in morning from children playing and screaming around playground just opposite … closing window would have helped Lastly.. sorry to be a prude, but a blind is needed on bathroom window, rather than near see through black netting, to afford a more “comfortable” showering and bathroom experience for those of us who prefer our guaranteed full privacy… lol!

Fabulous location, easy access from transit. Booked last minute somehow, cruise over from Helsinki. Easy walk to various neighbourhoods and museums. Beautiful inside, comfortable beds, kitchen had everything we needed to save the cost of a few meals out (coop grocery store right nearby). Loved hearing the hustle of the street below and kids playing at the school as the flat has windows on both sides of the building. I run two short term rentals and understand whats involved to doing it right. This was a lovely stay and exactly what we wanted! A beautiful old heritage building. Pictures very much matched the flat!

Might want to have a resident/local Netflix account so guests don’t have to try to use theirs?

The location is excellent, right on the main street in Gamla Stan and very convenient for exploring the old town. There is also a grocery store nearby. A school and playground are next door, and the playground can be used when school is not in session. The apartment itself is quite large and has a rustic, old-style feel that fits the historic area. The beds are all large and can comfortably sleep two people. The main bedroom and second sleeping area also have excellent closet and storage space.

Cleanliness was the biggest issue. When we arrived, the bathtub was completely clogged and would not drain at all. We ended up having to remove a large amount of hair from the drain ourselves, which was quite unpleasant. We also found stains and hair on the bed sheets. The apartment is up two flights of stairs, so it would be difficult for anyone with accessibility or mobility issues. The windows are also very old and probably due for replacement. This was not a problem during our summer stay, but I would imagine they could be quite drafty in winter. The bedroom layout is also worth understanding before booking. There is one proper bedroom. The second sleeping area is off the living room but has fairly good privacy thanks to a large cabinet and curtain. The third bedroom is essentially between the main living room and the kitchen, so you have to walk through it every time you access the kitchen. It also has no closet or storage space. We also asked whether we could drop off our bags 1–2 hours before check-in because we were traveling with two children, but this was declined due to space limitations. Considering how large the apartment is, this was a little surprising, although it was ultimately only a minor inconvenience.
