Luxueuse Central 3 Chambre Apt. Östermalm Stockholm

Anyone looking at my profile will see lots of 5 Star ratings and might be inclined to think my wife and I are easy to please. On the contrary, we are very particular. We tend to search fort higher end properties, are very careful in researching before we book, and--as a result--usually find great places. With that as a caveat, this may be the most beautiful and luxurious flat in which we have ever stayed, and that is not at all putting down any of the other great properties we have rented. Not only that, the location can't be beat--close to much of central Stockholm, a stone's throw from Djurgården for amazing running or walking--or even taking a dip in the sea (the "Royal Canal")--and with a T-banna (tube) stop just a three minute walk away. The apartment itself is spacious, with tons of natural light and cross-ventilation, high-ceilings and beyond beautifully appointed (like Svenskt Tenn throw pillows). The appliances are top notch as well, and the whole kitchen set-up is first rate. The owners were completely responsive to email questions before, and during the stay, not that we had many of the latter. There is a charming porch/balcony overlooking the courtyard, and the coolest door handle/lock/alarm we have ever seen (smile). If you are going to be in Stockholm and this place is available, you would be crazy not to take it.

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!

We stayed for a week at the end of July with our two young girls (5 and 4). The apartment is spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, and a pleasure to come back to at the end of each day of exploration of the wonderful city of a Stockholm. It is located in Ostermalm; the area was very quiet with a number of restaurants closed for summer breaks, but enough were open for us to eat, and there is a well-stocked supermarket and a beautiful food hall both a block or two away. It is a short walk to the delights of Djurgarden - which coupled with the many toys in the apartment made for an amazing week for our children (and us!). Communication was excellent with a very useful set of recommendations sent before arrival. We'd love to come back.

The apartment is superb and beautiful. It is classic Stockholm, ample space, clean, and very nicely furnished. The place is located in pretty elegant and central but quiet area, Östermalm. A short and convenient walk to all museums and touristic attractions, one minute to the subway . My husband and myself and our two young adult children found the apartment just right for our stay. The apartment was warm, comfortable and spacious and have everything we needed.

Best location for exploring Stockholm as the subway is just 2 minutes walk away and bus stops are just outside. There is also a supermarket just across the street.

Regarding other amenities, there is a small balcony towards the center courtyard , high-speed wifi, smart TV (Netflix etc), stereo, full featured kitchen, modern shower and bathtub and washing machine.

Great apartment, definitely recommend it and we will stay here again. The owner was very helpful with our queries on booking and super friendly, accommodating and flexible. Would love to stay here again!
