Renewal Date: 19/May/2018
I live with my partner Jon and our 11 year old daughter in beautiful and cool Hammarby Sjöstad just outside Stockholm's inner city core.
I'm a Garden architect/landscaper and Jon is a Boardgame designer with his own firm, and he also teaches game design at the Södertörn University
We love to entertain in our airy and modern apartment. We also like travelling. (Most recently: Hanoi and Lang Co, Vietnam and San Fransisco, USA.) Next we're going to the US (Boston, New York, Washington, D. C., Phoenix and LA), where Jon has relatives (not in all of those cities :D)
I of course always want to se parks and botanical gardens wherever I go (Jon is a bit reluctant sometimes, so I go by myself). But we both love museums. Erna is an animal lover and also enjoys art museums.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We love our bright, fresh and modern apartment! We have a very large balcony which is perfect for me (Maria) for I am a gardener/landscaping architect. The back yard is green and lush with a play area for kids and seating for us grownups. You can also borrow a barbacue grill and eat al fresco.
It's an open plan 2-bedroom apartment situated in Hammarby Sjöstad, which is a beautiful area on the waterfront with very modern architecture just outside Stockholm's inner city core.
There is a free ferry that takes you to hip Södermalm in 5 minutes. This is one of Stockholm's city core islands. The ferry is 5 minutes away from our apartment.
It takes about 15 minutes to go to downtown Stockholm and the Old Town by public transportation.
The tram station is only 4 minutes away.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The area, Hammarby Sjöstad, is a beautiful area with very modern architecture on the waterfront just outside Stockholm's inner city core. ("Sjöstad" means City by the Lake). The area is new (construction here started around the year 2000 and our building was built in 2006).
It's supernice to just stroll alongside the water, enjoy the pretty view and maby sit down and have a cup of coffee or a meal at one of the many cafés or restaurants by the water.
From here you can take the ferry (5 minutes) to the part of Stockholm's inner city core called Södermalm (or just plain Söder).
You can also take another ferry to beautiful Djurgården, where you find the Vasa museum and the outdoor museum Skansen.
It takes about 12-15 minutes to go to downtown Stockholm, and also to the Old Town, by public transportation.
