We had a wonderful experience staying at this rental and would absolutely return. This was our first visit to Stockholm—traveling as a group of three (my mother, my aunt, and myself)—and the apartment’s location in the heart of Gamla Stan exceeded our expectations. While we had planned to visit Gamla Stan as a must-see attraction, staying directly in this historic neighborhood made our experience even more memorable. The apartment is tucked away down a quiet alley, offering peace and privacy despite being right in the center of a lively, bustling area filled with shops and restaurants. The location was ideal for exploring the rest of the city. We primarily used Uber to get around due to mobility considerations for my mom and aunt, and nothing was more than 15–20 minutes away, even with traffic. If not for those limitations, the city would have been very walkable from this base. The apartment itself was exceptional—charming, spacious, and full of character. You can truly feel the history of the building through its original features, including stone floors and classic wood-and-glass windows. The first floor featured a large dining area that comfortably seats 6–8 people, along with a cozy sitting area, an electric piano, and a well-equipped kitchen stocked with everything needed, including a coffee setup and full cookware. The bathroom was modern and spacious, with generous counter space, a washer/dryer combo, and a large stone shower with its own window and built-in shelves. Upstairs, there was another lounge area with seating and a TV, two large bedrooms, and a loft with a bed—where I slept, and found it both fun and comfortable. Our host was gracious and communicative throughout the stay. Instructions were clear, and at checkout, we appreciated the flexibility to leave our luggage in the entrance hallway for a few hours before heading to the airport. As the host manages the entire building, we felt comfortable and secure doing so. Incredible experience.

Very cozy and clean and the hostess was very nice.

Location was really nice, beautiful view, very relaxed and quiet. A great outdoor gym nearby too. Everything was frozen though so it would be nice to come back on spring.

Brenda is the best host one can imagine. She kindly gave me top tips for what to see and experience in and around Balsta. Culture, museums, nature.

We loved the location of the house. It is situated in a truly beautiful area, with a lovely beach only about five minutes away by car. The neighborhood is very nice and peaceful, and the whole place has such a relaxing vacation vibe. With the palm trees and swimming pool, it felt more like being in a sunny holiday destination. The house was clean and very comfortable for the three of us. Nico also helped us with some useful tips about the city and nearby shops. I would love to come back next time, as this experience exceeded our expectations!
