About our home
Looking for an idyllic property in the most exclusive neighbourhood in Stockholm? Then our gorgeous family home could be just what you’re looking for. Located in the most beautiful area of the city, our stylish architectural dream is a five-minute walk from the city centre and a few steps from the seaside, while the stunning natural delights of Djurgården recreation island are only a five-minute walk in the other direction.
Our spectacular home is situated in a beautiful building dating from 1890. Designed with family-life and socialising in mind, our penthouse was renovated to the highest standards in 2015. With an impressive open-plan living area that enjoys lofty 5.5metre ceiling heights, this 240m2 (2,500ft) space has been decadently decorated and furnished with bespoke furniture throughout, with every last detail considered to make this a truly unique property. From the library and wine cellar to the outdoor terrace, a great deal of thought has gone into making our home feel both cosy and spacious, and luxurious. We have hosted many home swappers over the years, and we hope you will love spending time here as much as we do.
The details of our home:
With four stylish bedrooms and two elegant bathrooms, our home is perfectly equipped for spending time with your family or friends. We have an open-plan kitchen and several cosy areas for relaxing in (such as the living room and library and TV room), plus a lovely outdoor terrace and the glass-fronted mezzanine level, so you can enjoy both fantastic socialising opportunities and find some great nooks for a little ‘quiet’ time.
We are a foodie family who enjoy cooking and trying dishes from around the world, and our kitchen reflects this passion. As such, we have a fully-equipped Gaggenau kitchen with everything from a large steam oven and induction hob through to a sous vide cooker. A separate utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and drying cabinet will make your life even easier.
The practicalities of staying in our home:
We maintain our home to a really high standard (it’s why so many home swappers have loved staying here over the years!) so if you would like to stay here for either a direct/non-simultaneous or a Points Swap, please note that there is an additional cost of 120 euros for cleaning. Please also note that we prefer swapping properties that are of similar quality to our home.

“Mats & Guls apartment is absolutely stunning and could not be better situated right in the center of Stockholm. They were incredible hosts, staying late into the night to great us at their house before they headed off for their weekend. We feel so lucky that they opened up their home for us. It was perfect. ”
“We had a fabulous stay at Mats & Gül apartment, everything was above & beyond, from the apartment itself to Gül's hospitality and friendliness ”
“I've never slept so well as I did at Mats' place! The home is beautiful, cosy and spacious. The location is beautiful by the fantastic water front scenery. I enjoyed morning runs in Djurgården park just few blocks away. History museum is a nice place to visit and it's almost next to Mats' house. Tram nr. 7 is convenient when traveling to city center and to the airport. Mats is a perfect host and I feel very thankful that I had the opportunity to visit this amazing home. Thank you Mats & Gül!”
“Wonderful people who have become friends. Their home is perfectly located to explore Stockholm and beautiful to visit. All communications and the information provided was helpful and thorough. We hope to go back again next spring for another visit. ”
“If I could give more stars I would. We couldn’t ask for more regarding the fabulous place (right out of (Architectural Digest) and the hosts, Mats and Gül, couldn’t be more lovely and gracious. They helped us quickly acclimate to a new city chockful of things to do and see. The location was absolutely perfect for walking and connecting us to all manner of transport including the ferries just minutes on foot. We had a blast and look forward to returning.”
“Mats & Gul are both amazing & generous hosts, communication in setting up the swap was stress free, the property is private , gorgeous, & relaxing ...the perfect location to visit Stockholm. ”
“We spent a few days in Mats and Gül’s beautiful Stockholm apartment in a fantastic location in a lovely part of the city near Djurgården with its museums and green space- could not have wished for a nicer place to be! The apartment is so well designed and uses space imaginatively but still feels relaxed and comfortable- we loved having our morning continental coffee and pastries out on the balcony. The building is one row back from the waterfront so doesn’t look ontological the water directly but there is still a lovely roofscape view from the light filled living spaces then a minutes walk and you are strolling along the waterfront with the main centre within easy walking distance. Mats and Gül were excellent at advising on what to do and see and sent through detailed info beforehand. All in all a great experience and we feel lucky to have stayed in this very special home!”
“Wonderful easy going family, well traveled, friendly, thoughtful and polite - an absolute pleasure to host them. Very easy communication and left the house in perfect condition. Highly recommend them as house guests and hope they come and visit again. Cant wait to visit them in Sweden.”
“It was wonderful to meet Mats & Gul - just a pity we couldn't spend more time with them! They'd be most welcome to visit again!!! I just hope they still had a good time - given all the recently announced Corona restrictions:(. ”
“Really sweet couple! Easy communication, the house was in great shape after their stay, very respectful and caring with our home. We would love having you again in Paris! ☀️”
