I have never encountered kinder and more generous hosts -- on airbnb or in life in general! Christian and his wife Karin welcomed me as part of the family. At the same time, I had complete autonomy to use the kitchen, enter/exit, and make myself feel at home without feeling like I was interrupting. The airbnb room, bathroom and kitchen are downstairs while Christian and his family live upstairs. Actually only rarely saw Christian and family. The room has a beautiful balcony. A few anecdotes to illustrate their kindness and hospitality:
- Christian loaned me a bike, which has been terrific for getting around Stockholm. The room was available for a month but I am staying in Stockholm another 2 months. Christian offered to let me continue to use the bike after my stay.
- At one point I left my a bag containing my laptop and passport on the metro. Karin spent at least an hour on Friday at midnight helping me contact the necessary authorities to retrieve the bag.
- Christian and Karin hosted a friends and family dinner with 20+ guests. I was invited to attend, everything was delicious and made several new friends :)
Cannot recommend Christian enough! He also provided lots of information and suggestions around Stockholm. If you are lucky enough to stay at Christian's home do not pass up the opportunity. You will be sure to have a good experience.
