House in attractive area of Stockholm, Sweden
Our house is located in an attractive area close to Stockholm city center. The area consists of approx 400 houses, which were all constructed during the period 1938-1944, and designed in the same modernistic style. This makes it a unique area. Some years ago the area was formally declared a National Cultural Heritage, to ensure that the houses maintain their original features and character. It is a quiet and lovely area. For more information about the area, please see link below.

The house is located about 500 meters from lake Mälaren, where there are several beaches, a yacht club etc. We also have several restaurants and a tennis club in the area.
By car it takes approx 20 min to Stockholm city center. The same if you take the underground, which is 5 min away. Or, you can take the bike, which will take you half an hour. We have a Mercedes C-class and several bicycles available for use.
Our house is on 3 floors. In the basement we have a separate apartment (kitchen, bedroom and bathroom), and a laundry room. On the ground floor we have a kitchen, a living room and a dining room. A lovely veranda leads out from the dining room. This is where we eat all our meals in the summer. On the top floor we have two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a balcony. Our house has all modern amenities, and has newly been renovated.

BE534Britt-Mari and Tommie are very generous and welcoming exchange partners, and always of good cheer. They were very understanding and helpful when we were confronted with a few unexpected surprises during our stay in Stockholm. Communication happened with a smile. We also appreciated that their neighbours were informed about our stay; we immediately felt at ease and at home. Their beautiful and cosy home is exactly as described on the listing page.
