Askar and his adorable family were so sweet and accommodating during my first two nights in Europe. The apartment is situated in the quiet suburban side of Stockholm, but getting into the city is soooo easy and seamless thanks to the T-Bana Bredäng station, which is also a hop, skip, and a jump from the place.

I was fed two very nutritious dinners and breakfast. On my second evenong, I was about or head out to eat, but it was already quite late and getting "dark" (I learned that it doesn't get dark-dark during regular hours in Scandinavia!). Askar stopped me and offered to cook something, which was extremely nice of him.

Askar's wife was very informative about museums and Askar knew a lot about Stockholm (the city itself, as well as it being a starting point to others such as St. Petersburg and Helsinki) and what else to do while in Europe, and even other parts of the world! I can tell he is very well-traveled and knowledgable.

The children are extremely cute and endearing, and even taught be a little bit of Swedish ("Kompis") during my brief stay.

My room was incredibly spacious and pretty. I love the wallpaper and lighting.

I highly recommend staying with Askar and his family!
