Charming Penthouse in central Old Town

Summary:
Unique penthouse apartment in the heart of Old Town Stockholm. The apartment is situated in a calm area only a few meters from the vibrant shopping street Stora Nygatan. The house is built in the 15th century and the interior is a combination of old and modern design. The lower floor is tastefully decorated with wooden stairs leading up to the upper floor that offers a magnificent view over Old Town.

The Space:
The lower floor is tastefully decorated with a hallway, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, dining room and bedroom for two persons with a fireplace and a walk-in closet.
The old wooden stairs lead up to the spacious upper floor with an additional two beds and a seating area with a sofa bed that fits two persons. The upper floor also offers a magnificent view over Old Town and you can see as far as to the City Hall and the Royal Castle. The apartment is 93m2.

As the apartment is situated in a house that is medieval there is no elevator so you need to climb the stairs, the apartment is situated on the 4th floor.

Guest Access:
The apartment is an exclusive stay for you as a guest.

The Neighborhood:
The apartment is nicely situated on the calm street Svartmangatan (just across the street from German Church) only a few meters from the vibrant shopping street Stora Nygatan and Stortorget with the Nobel Museum. The Old Town is beautiful, packed with narrow and medieval streets to explore. From the apartment you can also easily reach every part of Stockholm, whether it is the luxurious Östermalm or hip Södermalm.

Getting Around:
The penthouse is situated about 3-5 minutes walk from the metro station "Gamla stan" (Old town). The Central Station is only one subway station away, and from there you can take every subway line. We always encourage walking around Stockholm, the city is not that big so it is definitely the best way to explore.

Other Things to Note:
I would like to remind you that it is important that the following rules of order are followed during your stay. It is forbidden to smoke not only in the apartment but also in the entirety of the apartment complex, including outside and in the staircase and balconies. It is also important to keep in mind that peace and quiet should be kept between 10pm to 07am everyday of the week to avoid disturbing the neighbours close-by. The apartment has a disturbance detector that reports any smell of smoke and disturbing noise for everyone's safety and well-being, as it is important to show respect for the residents of the property. It is also crucial that no shoes are used inside the apartment. No pets are allowed to enter the apartment either. Moreover, strictly no guests except for confirmed guests can stay in the apartment. If any extra guests are seen entering the building or apartment, we will have to cancel the booking without a refund, as it is strictly against our house rules. Thank you for your cooperation and for respecting all of the above.

Interaction with Guests:
Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns, and I will be happy to help! :-)

Perfect stay in Stockholm
We have stayed at many VRBO apartments and houses all over the world. This was truly one of our favorites. Perfect location for exploring all of Stockholm. Wonderful restaurants and cafes within steps from the place. Hedvig was very helpful and the apartment was the perfect size for our family of five. The four flights of stairs were no problem for our active family, however, might potentially be challenging for someone with mobility issues. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone visiting Stockholm. The trip was a dream. I hope we can return someday.

What an amazing trip! And it all started with finding this awesome apartment in Gamla Stan several months ago. The apartment is in the perfect location and we were able to walk (or ferry) to almost everything we wanted to do and see during our stay. Apartment was as described on VRBO, very clean and beautiful views! The neighborhood was so quiet and hearing the church bells throughout the day was so charming. And I can’t say enough how easy and pleasant it was working with our host, Hedvig! She communicated with us before, during and after our stay. For our first trip overseas we had some anxiety and a lot of questions. Hedvig provided us with all the basic information we needed in a very timely manner and on top of that she provided several useful guides which we used throughout our stay. She is a first class host! As described in the listing, the apartment is on the 4th floor in a very old building with no elevator/lift. So the spiral staircase is no joke. We were definitely out of breath when we got to the top each time but the apartment and views were worth it! :-) Highly recommend this apartment and host!! We are planning another trip back to Stockholm next year and we look forward to working with Hedvig again!

Wonderful apartment in the heart of Stockholm
We had a wonderful week at this apartment located right in the middle of Gamla Stan (the Old town) right beside the big German Church. The apartment was spacious and the kitchen was well equipped and we cooked all of our meals there. The hosts have an office downstairs and were very responsive to our needs. Thanks again for a wonderful time in Sweden!

Great apartment, would recommend
Stayed here for 3 nights with our family, to include 2 children. The apartment was exactly as listed. Had baby bed and other kid friendly equipment. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with. She allowed us to drop our bags early and leave them after check out as well - this was a nice plus as many places don’t allow this! Would recommend booking!

Perfect apt in the old town
Fabulous apartment in the oldest part of Stockholm. Very quiet, clean and just perfect for two friends. Did struggle getting suitcase up the four flights of stairs but the benefit was we could sleep with the windows open and only hear the church bells. Highly recommend
