Nice 4-bedroom house on top of a little hill. 2 minutes away from supermarket, take away restaurant and bus stop.
We are located on a quiet, friendly residential street.
The city of Stockholm has (of course!) a lot to offer both for kids and adults. You can go there by car or local transport. It takes about 30 minutes to the centre by bus and subway.
In the neighbourhood you can go for nice walks, bike rides or walks in the woods. There are nice playgrounds close by and a little beach for swimming and playing.
Around Stockholm there are a lot of beautiful and interesting nature reserves and other green areas. The Stockholm archipelago is unique and you can go there on day trips by boat or make an overnight stay there.
This year (2023) we made two exchanges, with France in May and with Holland in September. And we look forward to do many more!

FR1012229excellent exchange with very warm and available intervac friends. Two welcoming houses with, for us, a real favorite for the stay at the one on the lake. Thanks to Örjan and Ingela and hugs to Rafiki.
Cardiff, Great Britain
GB52071Lovely homes on Färingsö and in Älvsjö. Örjan and Ingela provided all the help and info that one would need, and even gave us a tour of their favourite parts of Stockholm when they got back to Sweden. Heartily recommended.
