Copenhagen & Stockholm accomodations
We're planning a July trip. What neighborhoods should we look @? We like CHARM. For those of you who know Amsterdam. we loved your advice to stay in the Jordaan @ a charming little canal house. It was a 10! We don't want to be in the busy/busy business areas. We also like small, as opposed to big. And would you recommend beginning in 1 city or the other? Any thought are appreciated, because I always get great advice from my fellow Fodorites!

CAUTION: Gross generalization: I don't think there's anything particularly charming about the neighborhoods in Copenhagen. They all have a bland, low-lying housing project style apartment look to them.
Having said that, I love Copenhagen and you might like Nyhavn 41. It's small and in the Nyhavn district of Copenhagen. Beamed ceilings, overlooking the harbour, a great restaurant . . .
I'd do Copenhagen last . . . if for no other reason to have a shorter flight on the return to the US.

In Stockholm the place wit good ambience would be Gamla Stan, the old town. Walking distance from the main station and centre of town, a short trip on the metro - one station. Touristy during the day , lots of bars and restaurants.
I stayed at Hotel Rica Gamla Stan which was clean and friendly and great breakfast. I had a last minute deal which was a bargain. My room was tiny but had all the features i needed.
In Copenhagen I guess near Nyhavn or Christianshavn has the best ambience. My personal preference was for Stockholm - prettier, more friendly and many interesting things to see and do - Do a canal tour in both places.

Just returned from Copenhagen on business, stayed at The Admiral Hotel and had a great meal there at SALT. Seemed to be a nice central location - I walked quite a bit - it was cold with lots of snow but I kept thinking how nice the area would be in the spring/summertime.
