We're looking for an exchange for 10-20 days during summer 2025. Close to sailing waters would be great but not a must. |

A beautiful Scandinavian family home in Gothenburg Sweden
We live on the second floor in a wooden two families house renovated in a typical Scandinavian style in 2007. We maintain and take care of our things, home and car carefully. You can expect everything you see, feel and smell to be fresh. The car is a Tesla Model 3, standard range 2020 with black seats. Both the interior and exterior are in really good condition. Gothenburg is a bike friendly city and you will have access to our bikes (Three bikes for adults and one bike for a kid 9-12 years. All bikes are just a few years old and well maintained.
Our sailing boat is a 32 feet Linjett from the late seventies. Since we are doing a lot of work on it this winter we have used pictures from the brochure instead. It's a 45 year old boat. Everything works and are in good condition. Best of all - it gives you access to every gem in the amazing Swedish west coast archipelago. Home harbor 45 min north of Gothenburg.
You will have your own outdoor terrass for barbecuing and eating. In the garden there is a 13! meter swing.
After learning from our first exchange in summer 2016 we have put together a list of things to do in Gothenburg - with and without kids - both as a "turist" and as a "native". If you have kids and want to bring a grandparent (or a pair of them) to be able to do things on your own once in a while, our home is well suited for that as well. There are three bedrooms with a 160 cm wide bed in each of them.
Sweden is a really clean and safe country so using public transportation is a good family alternative to walking, biking or driving.
Sweden has quite a unique law "the right of public access". This law means that there are splendid opportunities to experience nature in a way not possible in most countries.
