Great location

The apartment was in a great location in the old city centre of Gamla Stan. Even though the location was great, bare in mind that no taxis will drop you off at the apartment, so you need to be prepared to roll your luggage over cobble stoned streets to get there - considering we have a family of four with lots of bags, this was quite and effort, as was carrying the bags up two flights of stairs (no lift). The apartment was very spacious and clean, and had the bonus of having a washing machine available for use. We would definitely recommend staying here to other travellers.
