Anne-Marie (Julia's mom) and Julia made me feel totally welcome - far beyond what I expected. Anne-Marie stayed up for my arrival after midnight to show me the apartment and where I could put my things in the room and kitchen. She helped me arrange a taxi for an early morning departure. I mentioned that I would be biking around the City Park and the next morning at breakfast a map of the City Park was on the table waiting for me. She even bought a fan to to help cool the room during the warm summer nights. I was very touched by such thoughtfulness.

The neighborhood is a quiet residential area just up a small hill from the subway stop at Tekniska Hogskolan (red line). It's a 20 minute bike ride to Haga Park and 15 minute bike ride to the center of Stockholm. It really is an ideal central location for biking or visiting the city. It's also easy to walk to Roslagsgatan for some good restaurants.

The listing was absolutely accurate, but the room is actually bigger than it looks in the photo. The shelves and desk are great for anyone who needs to use the room to work at the computer. The shower is terrific.

After four nights, I was ready to call the apartment "home". Anne-Marie and Julia are wonderful, warm, welcoming hosts who did absolutely everything to make my stay enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again!
