Host Nils was communicative, and accurate in his descriptions.

On my arrival day, I had traveled from another country, managing the complexities and noise of trains, aircraft, subway, etc. My arrival at host location, facing the wooded nature preserve was *wonderful* ! After carrying my luggage for about 500 meters from the local train station, to sit for a moment in front yard of this dwelling, in a comfortable chair, enjoying the peace and quiet of forest was the *perfect* transition.

The home is a very high quality dwelling, with beautiful natural wood floors, built about 20 years ago. Benefits of high energy efficiency, include: comfortable temperatures inside, and very quiet, due in part to high performance (openable) windows that seal well when closed.

Host Nils was helpful when asked, and not intrusive at all. However, He was friendly, when I invited his stories. Nils has a very interesting life, which I was glad to learn about.

I especially enjoyed being able to obtain a bicycle for rides within the nature preserve on paths, and to / from the train station. The neighborhood is peaceful, with multiple apartment blocks. Clusters of businesses, including restaurants, COOP grocery store, and bicycle shop, are located at the two nearby train stations, all within a few minutes walk. Since I had purchased an unlimited transit pass good for multiple days, it was easy to travel to and from the Eco Village twice a day, for clothing changes in preparation for nighttime activities. The train is fast, frequent, safe, and comfortable; I always had a seat if I wanted it. It is just a few brief stops to get to central districts (museums, restaurants, clubs, ferries to outer islands), and also to central station (airport transport, and other trains to northern towns).

The train stations are well-lit; I had no concerns about security. At train station nearest to this lodging, if bicycle racks are filled, people leave their bicycles near to bicycle racks, but not even chained to them; it is *that* safe! . Stockholm has many, many good reasons to visit. In my view, the experience offered by Nils' nature-room in Eco-village was so memorable, as to be a reason for me to return to Stockholm.
