First I have to say that I never used an AirBnB accomodation before. But when we decided to travel to Stockholm with 6 persons in total (family with 2 children and grandparents) we thought it would be more convenient to live in a house instead of in a hotel - and we did not regret our decision.
House: We stayed at Carl's house for 14 days and after this time and honestly spoken already after a few days we felt home. The house offered a lot of space - and it perfectly matched our wishes. My children and my wife and myself were living upstairs and the grandparents were living in the basement. So everyone had his privacy and also a bathroom next to the sleeping rooms - the kitchen and the living room downstairs and the terrace were the places were we met each other to eat, play, talk and watch TV. The beds were comfortable and everyone could sleep very good even if the subway is not far away. And regarding children: there were three rooms with spacious single beds and our children directly found their favourite rooms. And as parents we very much liked the stair gate so that we did not have to be afraid of our kids falling down the stairs. This might be a detail but for us it was really making holidays much more relaxed. And what is also important: everything was perfectly clean.
Garden: the garden has a terrace next to the house (accessible from the kitchen) and one terrace in the guest house (which is used as a gym). The terrace next to the house was our favourite spot on sunny evenings. Our children were playing in the garden and in the gym and we relaxed on the terrace. All outside furniture was very cozy.
Location: the house is located in an area with houses that you would expect when you come to Sweden. It's a really nice neighborhood. And again, there was a nice surprise: our son could play football on a public fotball field which was only one minute away from the house and we used it quite a lot. A shopping center was available in walking distance and the best thing is: 2 subway stations were very close (only 5 minutes away). And you are in central Stockholm within 15 minutes (including the walk to station) while living in a real quite neighborhood! If you like football or ice hockey like I am doing you are at the Globen, Hovet and the Tele2 Arena in only 10-15 minutes - we visited a match of Hammarby IF which can be recommended (Djurgården is also playing in Tele2 Arena but not during our stay). And whenever the weather was sunny we took the car to Flatenbadet (lake) and Grisslinge havsbad (at the sea) which both could be easily reached by car. And there were much more places to swim on my list when preparing the holidays but we liked the 2 mentioned places so much that we concentrated on them.
Commuincation with Carl/ Check-in: the check-in was easy. We arrived quite late (9 hours car ride from Malmö to Stockholm) so we missed Carl but with the code for the door we could easily enter the house. During our stay we had some questions from time to time and Carl responded very fast and helped us. So communication was just perfect.
Overall: We were very happy that we decided to book Carl's house. Everyone was loving the house and we were very sad when we had to leave as our holidays were over. We can just say "thank you" to Carl and we would very much like to come back. 2 weeks were not enough in this beautiful city and this lovely neighborhood! Vi ses igen!
