Comfortable, elegant apartment in Stockholm
My wife and I were unsure exactly what to expect on our first trip to Sweden, but walking into this elegant apartment in Stockholm, calmed our anxieties and set the stage for an exciting two weeks in Sweden’s capital city, despite the record heat there, and throughout Europe, in July 2018. Stockholm has enough museums to consume a month of visiting.
The apartment, with its 19th century dimensions and ceiling heights, hallways, ample entry room, huge closets, a luxury bathroom with both tub and shower, and extremely comfortable sofas (2) plus other chairs, allowed us to conclude we had never had such a comfortable and relaxing rental in Europe. As an extra the kitchen was well appointed and had modern appliances of every kind. Three blocks away the luxurious Foodhall provided high quality meals plus grade A fruit/vegetables.
Because the unit’s Building has a huge interior courtyard, this unit receives breezes from any wind direction which keeps the unit moderate during the day and cooler at night even during heat waves. The owners have installed very heavy shades which also block the direct sun during the few hours it hits the unit.
The neighborhood is a great plus since it is a very high-end residential area, quiet, with largely tranquil businesses. Located on a hill looking down to one of the the harbors, it is easy to reach public transport, but, if you have difficulty walking distances or heights, we found TAXI Stockholm to be a blessing as they came within 5 minutes without fail and took us everywhere and similarly picked us up when we called to return. Their air-conditioned Mercedes were a blessing during the midday sun.
Finally, we found the owner to be exceptionally helpful in pre-planning (he created some English instructions for the European appliances) and very reachable by email during our stay for the one or two small questions we had.
All in all, this unit made our two-week Swedish vacation most memorable and enjoyable!
