Welcome to our charming yellow townhouse (built 1948) with a small garden, located in a calm and friendly neiighborhood in southern Stockholm.

EXCELLENT LOCATION
Just an 8-minute walk to Gubbängen subway station. From there, it's 12 minutes to trendy Södermalm and 16 minutes to central Stockholm. By car, Södermalm is only 8 minutes away (outside rush hour).

FAMILY FRIENDLY AREA
I'm divorced and have three children (ages 16, 14, and 12). Occasionally, their mother (my ex-wife) joins us on exchanges.
Nearby: a small playground (200 m away) and a larger one with a skate park (5-minute walk). Grocery store, pharmacy, and restaurants are all at the subway station (8-minute walk). There's also a great "fika" spot (Bageriet BAK) and a McDonald's, each roughly a 5-minute walk in the other direction.

EXPLORE STOCKHOLM
A beautiful city built on islands, with abundant swimming spots in the city and outskirts. Must-sees include the medieval Old Town (Gamla Stan), vibrant Södermalm for cool vibes and shopping, mainstream Drottninggatan, upscale Östermalm, or the recreational island of Djurgården.

On Djurgården island: Skansen (open-air museum & zoo), Gröna Lund amusement park, Vasa Museum (17th-century warship), and Junibacken (children's literature museum).

A 10-minute walk from home takes you to the UNESCO-listed Skogskyrkogården cemetery. Lake Flaten beach is a 5-minute drive; more city beaches and pools are easily accessible.

Venture further into the stunning Stockholm archipelago by boat, or hike the nearby Sörmlandsleden trail (starts near a subway stop 25 minutes away). Ferries to Finland offer a scenic cruise through the islands.

Note: I'm (dad) allergic to cats, so we might not exchange with homes requiring cat care. Dogs are welcome here - the children's mother has a dog, so we're quite used to them!
