Vaxholm Fortress

Large, clean easy property on the top floor. No elevator, so a lot of stairs everyday but we knew that when we booked. Views only of rooftops and courtyards but also not something we minded. The second 'bedroom' was the living room, the sofa pulled out so it would have been nice to have the second bedroom seperate from the living room but for the size, price and location, again it was fine. The main bed was a bit cheap and moved away from the wall a lot. The bathroom was nice, hot water could have been a bit hotter, the hooks were just fancy stick ons so no heavy hanging toiletry bags can be hung. The apartment was well equipped. Coffee percolator, iron, ironing board, toaster, pots pans, dishwasher, washing machine, hair dryer and extra toilet rolls in the medicine cabinet. The location was fantastic in Stockholm old town, metres away from everything you need. A 7-eleven and a metro supermarket nearby, and lots of tourist shops, cafes and restaurants. The train station and ferry station very close by. The pictures of the building entrance and the contactless instuctions of how to get into the building/apartment even for late arrivals was super easy. Some complaints were that it was noisy. Perhaps that is only in the Summers when you have the windows open or if you are on the first floors. We stayed for a week over new years and the only time we heard anything was on New Years Eve which is to be expected! Overall very pleased. Location really is fantastic.

Such a lovely stay! Really comfortable beds and delicious breakfasts. Reception staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend.
