“Dear Helena, We likes your Stockholm apartment. However, we were a bit surprised with the tone of your feedback. It is ok to receive feedback obviously, but we find it strange that - following your remarks in the document you supplied - we were given the impression that we did something wrong (eg. contacting the cleaner). Also, the fact that you ask for a gift from a guest, whereas we as hosts give our guest a gift (and were given none), is rather a matter of culture/interpretation? Lastly, you added pictures from your summerhouse to this property - I would definitely remove these as there are not part of your Stockholm property; this comes across as confusing and is incorrect. Nonetheless, we contacted each other and we tried to exchange our opinions on the matters you addressed, and we do appreciate that. Best, Daniel and Susanne ---------------------------------------------------------------Host's Response-------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, I could have handled that better - definitely and I apologise yet...I was VERY disappointed when I reached my home five days later and found all our lines squeezed into the dryer all wet and with mold .. The guests are grown ups and have probably used a dryer before, apparently swap frequently and should know how much wet items a dryer can take and it was twice as much in the dryer. And they knew I would not be around for a couple of days. It is always easy to write things on a website - But wit ould have been much better to give me a call and let me know how they left the apartment, Then I could have asked a neighbour to help me out.”

Helena's reviews
As a host (4)“Helena's apartment is in an excellent location, and is very comfortable and stylish. We had a great stay and communication was excellent! ”
“We spent one week at Helena's beautiful summer house south of Stockholm and it was simply amazing!! Helena is the BEST communicator, an amazing host with such a warm and bubbly personality. Not only did we swap houses, we also swapped cars AND upon getting into the car found drinks, sweets for the kids, a picnic basket in the boot... how is that for thoughtfulness! The house is equipped with everything one could possibly need and is cosy and stylish. We even had bikes (adult and kiddies ones) to ride down to the little private beach with. It was just a Swedish dream holiday! One day we'll be back... ”
“Wonderful stay at Helena's, apartment is comfortable and nicely located for Stockholm visit. Area is very safe and close to the city centre, a short walk or a quick jump on metro or bus (we mostly used buses, very convenient). Helena was very responsive in correspondence. We can recommend both Helena and her apartment! ”

Neighbourhood
You could not be more centrai in downtown Stockholm and yet right by the water in the middle of town. You can walk or bike anywhere and the address is for a Stockholmer to die for. Or you could in half an hour be on an island in the archipelago and enjoy the serene and relaxed atmosphere of peace and quiet. The choice is yours :-)
