Live centrally or a little more rurally in Stockholm?

Most of Guestit's short-term accommodation is in Stockholm – a city with many faces and unique neighborhoods. Stockholm is a large city both in terms of surface area and population size. It is estimated that the Greater Stockholm region consists of 26 municipalities and has a population of over 2 million people.

Feel free to start from your personal situation and the purpose of your trip. If you are going on a business visit to the city, it can be convenient to live in the city and be within walking distance to everything. This applies especially to those who want to visit restaurants, bars, shops, sights and other things that the big city has to offer.

If you prefer a slower pace outside, you can choose a suburb or a nearby municipality. There are many nice places around Stockholm and you are often close to all the water that gives the city its special atmosphere.

Smooth communications

The heavy car traffic in Stockholm can be a problem, but luckily there is an extensive subway network and well-thought-out bus connections. In other words, you can live in the countryside and quickly commute into town. This is the case with, for example, Lidingö – a gem outside Stockholm where Guestit has arranged many guest nights. Here you can plan your trip with SL »

Are you coming alone, as a couple or with children?

Guestit is used by everything from solo travelers to large families with children. The needs look different in terms of living space, number of bedrooms, parking, kitchen equipment and amenities of various kinds. To facilitate your booking process, Guestit provides a lot of information about each object. Check especially under the headings Amenities and Sleeping arrangements where you can see if the accommodation is right for you and your possible party.

Business travelers

One of our large customer groups is business travelers as Guestit is a popular alternative to hotels. You live in a real residence but with hotel standards. Feel free to check a little extra in our item descriptions, for example regarding wifi and laptop-friendly workspace.

Price level

Last but not least, make sure the home fits your budget. In Stockholm, rents can vary quite a lot depending on area and standard. If you are going to stay for a longer period of time, it is worthwhile to compare several options in Guestit's search service.
