Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 4
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends
Shared Room: DependsAs I state below, I have a few options available depending on how many guests are staying. Primarily the spare bed is in it's own room. I live in a suburb of Vasteras called Fredrikserg. Not well known for it's scenery exactly, but it is close to all amenities and the centre of town. Very close to the famous lake and marinas, Fredrikserg is on 3 bus routes that will take you pretty much anywhere including the train station where you can link to Stockholm by bus or train, and London with Ryan Air.
I live alone in a large two bedroom apartment. The 'spare' room is my office that has a double 'klik-klak' sofa-bed - hardly used. I can accommodate people on blow up mattresses and quilts and I can put two people on my L-shaped couch in my living room, which is very large.
I don't have pets and only two plants as I travel a lot myself. I don't smoke but enjoy a bottle of red now and then.
I have a car but it's a Smart car with only two seats, but I'm more than happy to show people around by public transport if necessary. I work from home so I'm around all the time (when I'm not travelling).
I'm a bit of an insomniac and only sleep when I absolutely have to so staying up late chatting, listening to tunes etc., is good for me.
As I work from home I can pretty much host at any time. I don't have a limit on how long you stay but don't over stay! (You know what I mean...) Friends (0)| This user does not yet have any friends on CS. |
