I definitely reccomend staying at Lidia's and I will surely go back there if I ever go to Stockholm again!
Lidia is absolutely lovely, very welcoming, helpful and smiling! She waited for us until late in the night and she carefully explained everything about the main spots of the city and trasports so that we would be ready and well prepared the next day (she gave us also maps and brochures).
She lives in the same apartment but in a separate part of the house so you will have your own privacy. The bathroom is shared with other two rooms but there was never the need to queue.
Our room (good size for two people) and the whole house was clean, warm and cosy. Even though the breakfast was not included, coffee and tea were always there for us, kindly offered by the host.
There is a fridge, microwave, kettle, cutlery and plates to warm up or store your own food, as well as a common room where to eat. There is wifi.
The location of the house is very good:
- nice and quiet area
- 2 minutes walking from the train station (black line J) which connects directly to Stockholm Central in around 5 minutes where you can catch the metro with the same ticket. Trains pass very often...we have never waited more than 10-15 minutes
- 700 metres from the nearest metro station (in case you don't want to change from metro to trains)
- 2 minutes walking from the nearest supermarket
- 25 minutes walking from the old town
