Description of the home we are offering for exchange
A homey little flat. It has a biggish balcony with an outdoor sofa, for those who prefer to combine morning coffee (or evening wine) with fresh air.
The bed is adjustable, 120 cm wide, which means that it's good for a couple who don't mind intimacy. For just one person, the bed is comfortably big. There's a grab bar on the wall next to the bed, for people with reduced mobility.
In the main room there's a 3-4 person couch. As the couch doesn't have any fixed, hard armrests, it's comfortable to sleep on, even for a tall person. There's a digital piano, for your music pleasure. There's also a desk for working.
The kitchen has everything you need. It's also very convenient for wheelchair users, as there's roll-in space under the sink and working surface. Two of the cupboards are motorized, and can be lowered to make it easy to reach from a sitting position.
The bathroom has a roll-in shower. However, there's no shower seat. There are grab bars on the toilet. These can be removed, to make it into normal toilet chair.
The clothes rack in the hall can be lowered with a motor. Two still rings hang from the ceiling, if you want to exercise your arms.
The flat is on the 4th floor. Naturally, there's a lift. It's very big, so you can easily bring a horse to the flat. But please don't.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Hammarby Seatown is, as the name suggests, right next to the water. There are lovely views, and nice waterside walks. The area is full of restaurants. At one of the best ones, Göteborg, you can sit and eat with a great riverside view.
A tram station is right outside the door. The flat is also right next to the wine/beer store, a supermarket, and a late-night Swedish burger chain.
Curiously, there's a mountain with a ski slope a short walk away. This is quite unexpected in an urban Stockholm neighborhood.
There's also a new skyscraper (by Swedish standards), with a fancy sky bar.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
A quick ride by bus, or tram/underground, will take you to town in a jiffy. Stockholm offers what you expect from a capital city: bars, restaurants, museums, galleries, shopping… And water, water, water. Wonderful views. They call it the Venice of the North. Not very accurate, but, like (the old part of) Venice, Stockholm is built on (bigger) islands.
