- Martina & Torbjorn were great to swap with. We loved the house & the local area. So accessible to reach Stockholm centre but also a very nice suburb from where you can explore lots of lakes & woods nearby. We were amazed to see deer twice, that just seemed to wander through Martina & Torbjorn's garden. We have been to Stockholm before but found lots more to discover with some excellent recommendations to follow. Getting out & about the archipelago, exploring the Old Town, swimming in the local lake, meatballs & pickled herring, Grona Land the big carousel is fun, the sculpture garden In Millesgarden we were never stuck for something to do. The house was really comfortable & we loved sitting out on the terrace in the late light of the summer evenings. Nothing was too much trouble, we all got on well & communication was excellent, which is exactly want you want on a houseswap. Thanks again to the whole family :) xx

We are a family with two children and two cats and we love to travel (not the cats) and experiencing new places and meeting new people. We have done 6 home exchanges so far and we think it is a fantastic way to get to know a new place and to spend our vacation.

2023 SUMMER ALREADY BOOKED
Charming three-story, modern house built in the 1930´s in a nice and well situated suburb to Stockholm city.

Top floor is partly in the former attic which means that the maximum height in the old part is about 210 cm with a lot of angles and corners. This is where the main TV is placed, a new, smaller bathroom with a shower and four bedrooms.

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We want to find our house in the same way as we left it, neat and tidy. Please don´t smoke inside, there are ashtrays outside for that. Since we have a cat called Blixten we would need you to take care of him when we are away.
We have friendly neighbours who will be glad to help you if you need anything.
