This experience was not as rewarding as we hoped, for several reasons:
1.The host lives in the apartment upstairs, but the same entrance is used for both apartments , and this is not specified in the rules .
2.Because of this, we were concerned about our privacy, but we were replied that we’re not in a hotel , and we got enough privacy in our rooms.
3.The nearby kindergarten implies a lot of noise in the morning.
4.The TV was not operational, the host proposed that we might fix it.. that was not ok, as the TV was included in the facilities.
5.Squeaky doors make a lot of noise, and the 22.00 -silence rule makes you feel bad for using the doors at night..
6.Again, the same 22.00-silence rule prohibits us from coming home late , but we went to Sweden especially for the sunny nights, with only 3 hours of dark. The silence rule doesn’t work the other way around, as the host was noisy at 6 in the morning, unloading the dishwasher.
7. We couldn’t use the blinds or windows without her help, as they were next to breaking. We needed shade and air, as the summer came earlier in Sweden.
8. No lit lights in the downstairs hallway because that disturbs her sleep *in the upstairs apartment..??*.
9. Overall, not a friendly host, declining lots of things we proposed. I don’t get it, why would you offer your apartments for rent to strangers, if you don’t want to get along with them.
10.The included breakfast was apparently not included, because we got a discounted price. I didn’t know you can pick your offer on Airbnb… At least we could use the kitchen, again, under specific restrictions..
Conclusion : I don’t recommend this host , read all the reviews, there have been several other people encountering the same problems. We are a family of 4 responsible adults, but we were seen as kids that could break anything. We paid good money but the conditions definitely did not pay off.
