Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden, the greater stockholm is about 1,5 million inhabitants , Stockholm town is about 800 000 and  is built on islands in the meeting between the lake mälaren and the baltic sea. the "old town" with medieval buildings is built on a small island with locks on booth sides. on the south side is a bigger island called "Södermalm" with houses from the late 1800. this part of stockholm has a more "labor" flavor but nowadays it's rather expensive to buy an apartment here.our apartment is situated in a quiet part of södermalm, close to the water and with a big recreation park close by. it's close to the buss, underground and the commuter trains
