This was by far the worst rental experience. I have been traveling extensively for more than a decade. I think in my life I have rented close to 50 homes. I don't remember a single issues. This one, however, went so badly that I decided to write a review.
Let's start with the good things: the house is quite spacious and sufficient for a summer stay for family with 3 kids.
You need to remember that there is no free parking. Also it takes about 1 hour to get to the house from the main Stockholm attractions (because of the traffic. Without heavy traffic it takes half of this time). The public transportation is not cheap and it takes more than 1 hour to get to the attractions on public transportation (according to Goog maps - we ended up not using it a it would be quite expensive for our family).
Now, what made this rental so special:
1. When we came we found dirty beer bottles and old food boxes in the trash bins.
2. The kitchen table was not clean. Only visible surfaces were clean, but if one would move the kitchen stuff on the table, he or she we would find a lot of food remains.
3. The fridge (which is medium size to begin with) was full with the food. Some of it was expired or would expire during our stay. And there was no space left for our food. After shuffling we freed 40-50% of the fridge, which was far from enough. But this was much better than the situation with the freezer. There is no freezer at all, so many of the things we bought on our way went to the garbage.
4. The bed sheets is an additional story. Well, some of them were in the basket, some were on the bed with a foot print. My guess, they were not changed. Definitely not clean. So we had to do laundry. Now, the dryer would not work because the filter was full.
5. There is absolutely no empty shelf, drawer or anything else to unpack the luggage. We ended up having all our clothes in the suitcases during the whole week we stayed in the house.
Basically, after spending a lot of time making the house suitable for living, we have discovered that in addition to our house cleaning new position we also became gardeners. We had manually water the yard (and given the dry hot weather we had to do it multiple times). The automatic system is cheap. Why make family on vacation to do this work? And I am talking from experience having one of these systems in my house.
Anyway, before leaving we cleaned the kitchen (dishes, fridge, stove - everything!). Took out all the garbage (ours and the host's). Took the bed sheets to the basement. Guess our surprise when a week after we left we got an email from the host rudely asking explanation why the hose is not clean. As we didn't want to start any long discussion we wrote a polite email, saying that if there was anything left it was unintentionally and we are really sorry. We were shocked when hosts sent request to pay professional cleaning fees of $200. Basically the host's attitude is: we are going to a vacation, we don't prepare the house for the rent, the guest will clean it up pay, and then we will ask them to pay for the professional full house cleaning.
It goes without saying that my request of compensation for the work of cleaning we had to do to use the house was denied.
So, shall you decide to ruin your vacation, this is the property to use. Otherwise, keep away.
