Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We have an exchange for the summer 2024 already, but we are open to other dates including christmas holiday 2024.

The apartment is modern and newly renovated with all necessary equipment, and yet charming and cosy, situated in a historical building from the 1910s. It has three bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and two others with single beds. The spacious livingroom holds a large sofa area with and tv and small desk as well as the queen sized bed in a corner of the room. A sofa bed holds an additional adult or two children. There is a nice modern kitchen with a balcony overlooking the yard, facing south. There is one bathroom with a bathtub and a wc, and antoher smaller bathroom with a wc. The green inner yard is great for the whole family wtih multiple seating areas under the trees for barbeques, a lawn and a sandbox with a play area for children.

The area we live in is a fantastic part of the city - known for its closeness to parcs, recreation areas, waterfront and city beaches. There are lots of restaurants and outdoor cafés. It is close to downtown Stockholm, you can walk to the Old Town in 20 minutes or take the subway for 10 minutes to the commercial city centre.

We are a family of four, two adults and two teenagers. We are keen travellers and speak Spanish, German and French as well as English.

We have five bikes, perfect for excursions through out the city (better than a car in the city of Stockholm, and there are great public transportation such as subway, buses, boats, trams, e-bikes and e-scooters).

Please mail us if you want to see more pictures. Please note that we are allergic to fur animals, and cannot exchange with homes with pets (e.g. cats or dogs).

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Stockholm is one of the most beautiful summer cities you can imagine. The city is surrounded by clean water and offers plenty places to go swimming or just hang out in green areas, cafés and bars. in the city of Stockholm you can go shopping - with everything from smal boutiques, brands, malls like the newly renovated Gallerian (gallerian.se) or high-end NK department store (from 1902) - nk.se.

The main shopping area is only 15 minutes away by subway. You don't need a car to get around in Stockholm - walking is very appreciatated and the Swedes use buses, trams, bikes and subway to get around. There are also e-scooters to rent, as well as e-bikes - frequently placed around the city. If you like culture you can find everything in Stockholm - there is the historic Royal Opera house (operan.se) founded in 1773 and the national theatre stage Dramaten - Dramaten.se.

You can go and see movies in movie theatres around the city - but we would like to suggest our local movie theatre and restaurant Studio | Indio (indio.se) where you can bring in your own food and drink, sit in cosy sofas and enjoy the film of your choice.

In the summer, many artists come to Stockholm and there are several concert locations where you can enjoy music. Often, local restaurants and cafés have artists come and play - such as lasseiparken.se, just down the street from us.

Do not forget to visit the Old Town of Stockholm with it's many cafés, bars and restaurants, beautiful small shops, narrow alleys and famous ice-cream bars.

At The official guide to Stockholm - visitstockholm.se you can find out what is on right now, where to go and what to do. In the summer we like to take the boat (you can use your public transportation card) from the south side of Stockholm to the big green area Djurgården. There you find our popular amusement park Gröna Lund (gronalund.com) and the world's oldest open air museum and zoo Skansen (Skansen.se. Here you also find the ABBA-museum (ABBATheMuseum.com). You can spend 2-3 days just exploring everything Djurgården has to offer :)

If you are interested in World Heritages - you should not miss the chance to take the boat to the Viking settlement Birka (birkavikingastaden.se) or the beautiful Drottningholm castle (Drottningholm.se), where you might be able to secure a ticket to the historic castle theatre (dtm.se).

We live in one of the most popular parts of the city, where it's close to go everywhere you want and where you can be happy just hanging around, enjoying the surroundings.

For those interested in hiking, sports and other outdoors acitivities - nothing is far away in Stockholm, check out hellasgarden.se for instance or the national park Tyresta National Park (sverigesnationalparker.se).

To sum it up - you will not have a boring moment in Stockholm!
