Cozy Swedish House Close to Stockholm and Uppsala

“We spent the first two weeks of August at Veronica's place. It was our first stay in Sweden and it could not have been better. Veronica's home is really comfy and equipped with all amenities you may need for an enjoyable stay. There is also a well provided supermarket in 5 minutes walking. We very much enjoyed the backyard terrace and the bbc for a peaceful day or to unwind after visiting places. Our teens loved playing trampoline; they spent a lot of time in the playground nearby and picked blueberries in the wood behind the house. Veronica's place is located midway to Stockholm and Uppsala. Both cities are easily connected by bus and train so you don't even need a car to travel around. Being in this quite and leafy surroundings gives us the opportunity to travel through the Swedish countryside along Malaren lake and its wonderful castles; we also share great time with friendly Swedish people when bathing in lakes and walking in forest trails. Veronica and her family are very friendly (so sad we couldn't meet due to our flight delay)! Veronica is a great host : everything was planned to make our arrival smooth and warm. We benefit from her tips and wonderful addresses around the area. Veronica has always been helpful and quick to answer any questions both before and during the swap (our nice shats started nearly one year before the swap took place). Her family took great care of our home, garden and car. So in one word : Go!”

“We had a wonderful Easter holiday in Veronicas and Lars home. With a perfect location between Stockholm and Uppsala and yet close to nature, this was a perfect starting point for a wonderful week. The house is located in a small town close to the playground and the children loved the trampoline and the forest in the backyard. Communication with Veronica and Lars has always been good. Answers to questions have quickly come and they have been good at making suggestions for trips and places that were worth visiting. We came home to a home that was cleaned and the only traces they had left were a lovely gift for us.”

“We loved our stay at Veronica’s home in the cute little neighborhood of Knivsta. Inside the home feels like a true vacation home with arched ceilings and numerous windows overlooking a green-space that is forested with miles of hiking trails right out the back door. The home was comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Our home base of Knivsta gave us the chance to explore all of the areas Sweden has to offer (beyond Stockholm) by car. We went to many lakes and neighboring towns, too many castles to count (some that were off the beaten path), and enjoyed time in the darling town of Uppsala (only 15 minutes away by car) and of course we did a lot in Stockholm as well but were happy to come home to what felt like a charming cottage in the woods in Knivsta. We even took an excursion to Finland/Tallinn via overnight ferry, which was wonderful, but again we were so happy to come home to Knivsta. Communication with Veronica was fantastic leading up to our trip and during our trip. This was a direct swap so they stayed at our home as well and took great care of it (the neighbors were impressed). We would definitely recommend a swap with Veronica! ”

“This was our first direct swap experience and it was truly amazing! Veronica's home is stunning and we instantly felt at home from the moment we walked through the front door. It is situated on such a charming street and you've got directly access to the forest from the outdoor veranda. Veronica was a wonderful host, leaving us a lovely arrival gift, and plenty of tourist brochures and information to help us make the best of our stay. She was always quick to answer any questions we had both before and during our stay. It really was a privilege to stay in such a lovely home! Veronica and her family also took very good care of our home, while we stayed in theirs, leaving it in a 100% clean condition after their departure. Thank you Veronica and family, it has been such a pleasure this time around! Xx”
