Two bedroom apartment in quiet neighborhood overlooking the water

Post by Ella.

Stockholm’s latitude is 59.3°N. The sun still sets and we get a few hours of darkness. Below, the early morning view (1:30am) from our balcony.  Sunrise is 3:41am. The body of water you can see is where Traneburgssund (Traneburg’s Sound) meets Mariebergssundet. (Marleberg’s Strait).

Stockholm stretches across 14 islands and the banks of the archipelago where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic sea. The city is connected by 57 bridges, has 96 beaches, and the people of Stockholm (population around 900,000) are estimated to own in the neighborhood of 200,000 boats.

The apartment is in a relatively new building. I’m guessing it’s 75 to 100 years old. The interior of the apartment is, well, could use some love. No new, sleek remodeling jobs here. But everything works, there is plenty of space, the beds are comfortable as is the sofa in the living room. 

There are 2 bathrooms, one with toilet and sink, the other with shower and sink. I’ll spare you those pictures. The shower is adequate but not on a par with all the others we’ve had. You know how important showers are when traveling!
