Downtown Apartment. This is another image from the apartment I stayed in while living in Stockholm. It was a secondhand contract, meaning sublet from the original tenant, so it was fully furnished. If you are lucky enough to be the holder of a firsthand contract in Stockholm you are set. You will never have to leave your apartment ever. It is so hard to evict someone in Stockholm. So much so, firsthand contracts have a black market and get traded or sold or they just stay in the family for years. I was lucky enough to stay here for six months.
