I stayed at Becks' house with a total of 7 people in our group. It was fantastic to be able to stay in such a lovely home and have plenty of room and privacy despite how many we were.
The beds seemed a bit hard at first, and they certainly weren't as soft as I would normally like, but luckily we all slept fine in those beds for the entire week.
A few tips for future guests:
- Get to learn the thermostat as soon as possible. If you're gonna be awake at odd hours and want to shower, be sure to set the thermostat to manual in advance. It seemed to revert to auto after about a day, so be mindful of that.
- The bus station nearby was great and I wish I'd realize sooner, instead of always going for the underground. There's a fantastic vegan shoe store (the third estate) which you can get to from those buses. Portobello Market nearby was also great.
- The tap water was fine (not great by Swedish standards) but Becks had a water filter box which we used. Be sure to ask Becks about it though, as I think you might want to replace the filter if you're having a longer stay. After using it for almost a week the filtered water started tasting a bit fishy, literally. At that point we didn't bother to ask how to replace the filter, but you might want to. We just switched to regular tap water.
