Bright yellow townhouse with garden – 16 min to central Stockholm by subway
Yellow townhouse built in 1948 with a small garden, located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood in southern Stockholm.
Location and transport
An 8-minute walk to Gubbängen subway station. From there, it's 12 minutes to Södermalm and 16 minutes to central Stockholm. By car, Södermalm is only 8 minutes away (outside rush hour). It is also easy and common to bike from here to the city center.
The family
I am a father with three children (ages 16, 14, and 12). Occasionally, their mother joins us on exchanges. We are open to exchanging cars.
Local amenities in Gubbängen
There is a grocery store, pharmacy, and restaurants at the subway station (8-minute walk). A local bakery (Bageriet BAK) and a McDonald's are about a 5-minute walk in the other direction. Nearby, there is a small playground (200 m) and a larger, recently renovated one with a skate park, football pitch, and activities for children (5-minute walk).
Note: I am allergic to cats, so we cannot exchange with homes requiring cat care. Dogs are welcome here – the children's mother has a dog, so we are well-used to them.

About the neighborhood
Stockholm is a beautiful summer city built on islands with abundant swimming spots.
Sightseeing
Must-sees include the medieval Old Town (Gamla Stan), Södermalm for shopping and atmosphere, the main street Drottninggatan, and upscale Östermalm. The recreational island of Djurgården is home to Skansen (open-air museum & zoo), Gröna Lund amusement park, the Vasa Museum, and Junibacken (children's literature museum).
Nature and Swimming
The UNESCO-listed Skogskyrkogården cemetery is only a 10-minute walk from our home. For swimming, Lake Flaten is a 5-minute drive away. You can also find many city beaches or visit Eriksdalsbadet, a large outdoor swimming pool area, 10 minutes away by subway.
Excursions
We recommend taking a ferry from the city center for a day trip into the stunning Stockholm archipelago. You can also take larger ferries to Finland for a scenic cruise through the islands. For hiking, the Sörmlandsleden trail starts near a subway stop about 25 minutes away.

Famille avec qui nous avons sympathisé, et qui s'est montrée très à l'écoute de nos besoins. La maison est spacieuse et se situe dans un quartier calme, voire trop calme à notre goût : relativement éloignés du centre, nous n'avons pas trouvé énormément d'activités dans le quartier, hormis un charmant lac que l'on a pu rejoindre à vélo.
Greger and his family were really nice and uncomplicated guests. When we had questions, he answered them.

Dad with three teenagers (16, 14, 12) – relaxed Stockholm family life
We are a close-knit family: Greger (dad) and my three children (16, 14 and 12).We live a calm, everyday life in southern Stockholm with school, friends, fika and occasional trips. Sometimes the children's mother joins us on exchanges. We're used to dogs (she has one) and enjoy a laid-back holiday style – exploring cities, beaches, parks and amusement parks like Liseberg or Gröna Lund.
