Gustaf is a very helpful host - he provided an extra crib for our family and helped us locate their baby bathtub, etc to make our stay with two young children possible. That said, a word of caution to families with younger children: the host family has many of their personal belongings in the apartment, and there are high-end furnishings, breakable decorations and art throughout the space. It’s beautiful!! But if you want to be able to relax with little kids, this may not be the best space, as you constantly worry about them tipping over a vase or breaking a beloved Children’s toy of the host’s family. It would be better suited for older children who will respect boundaries.
The master bedroom is spacious and has a huge and most comfortable bed with lovely linens. That said the curtains are quite sheer — bring eye masks because for our summer stay, it started getting light out around 4 am. The children’s rooms have blackout shades but they still let in a lot of light around the sides, so if your kids are used to very dark rooms, you may want to pack extra travel blackout curtains.
Last, I have a general grump about Airbnb hosts charging a cleaning fee and then asking guests to “clean and leave the space as you found it,” which is why I lowered the rating for the value of this space. I have no problem tidying up, starting the dishwasher, and moving furniture back to where I found it, but I was not happy to be running a vacuum cleaner on my summer vacation.
Otherwise, the apartment is beautiful, perfectly located to public transit and shopping, and the host is kind and accommodating. I would happily recommend it to a couple traveling alone or a family with older children.
