Our stay at Jacob’s home was fantastic. Jacob was a gracious host and responded to any questions very promptly. He was there to great us at check in with coffee and pastries, which after 20+ hours of travel was greatly appreciated. He gave us a quick tour and made sure we had no questions then was on his way.
The home is beautiful and eclectically decorated, and fit six adult friends comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked with basic necessities for cooking, which is was nice to have that option to cook at home. As we were aware from other reviewers, the stairs are narrow and steep so use with caution and might not be suitable for all guests. We were a group of all 20 somethings and still all found them precarious, as a heads up.
The in house sauna was a well appreciated amenity after walking around in chilly windy weather most of the days. The house also has a washer but no dryer, just one drying rack, so if planning on using these amenities just be aware it takes a decent amount of time to finish one load with drying time.
The house is not far from the city with about a ten minute walk to the metro station and a ten minute ride to the city center from there. This was quite convenient and the walk to the station is nicely paved but is slightly difficult with luggage due to gravel. Additionally, we saw deer in the yard on multiple occasions and even the neighbors cat came over for some pets one morning while we were enjoying breakfast on the patio.
Jacob did stop by a couple times to grab things from the house, which was not a problem for us but some may prefer otherwise. He always texted before arriving so we had warning. The only reason I’m giving the stay four stars instead of five is after check out an additional fee was requested for cleaning despite following the instructions from the house manual and asking if it was sufficient at check out.
Overall we had a wonderful stay in Jacob’s home and we’re glad to call it home while in Stockholm.
