Hello @Laura7817 ! I looked through your listing, it looks amazing! Beautiful photos, detailed description, it looks great!

Have you already received any bookings?

[Laura7817]

Hi @Muslim4 .

Thank you for your nice note and reviewing the listing. I just posted the house this week, so no bookings yet. Also, my intention is to open it for summer time only, as it is the best time of the year in Sweden. Well, the winter is beautiful too, but where we live it is nice to see the blueness of the sea and lakes! You are welcome to visit anytime from Kazakhstan!

Kind regards, Laura

@Laura7817 Your calendar is completely open, so if you're not planning to rent all year, definitely block some months! You mention July of next year, which is why I'm saying this. According to your calendar, I could book a stay in a couple of weeks. 

Your place is AMAZING!! The only think I would do differently is to change the pictures to go by which building they are in, so Main House, larger Guest House, and then smaller Guest House. 

I was a little confused by the going back and forth. You may also want to include some pics of the entire rooms. I couldn't really tell how big the bedrooms are, as the pictures are somewhat limited. 

Other than that, I would LOVE to stay any time! It looks like an amazing property and a lovely part of Sweden to visit.

Thank you @Kia272 ! What a blessing you are! I really appreciate your help and kindness! There was so many details to write and post and organize, for a first-timer, so this is gold for me. Thank you! 

And you are welcome anytime. We are right outside of Stockholm (east if you look at pictures) only 22 minutes by car or bus to downtown Stockholm. Yet, you will have the sweetness of the Swedish countryside. 😉 It has been nice to live here for the last 17 years. If you ever make this trip, driving is easy, all round the Nordic countries. You can drive to Norway and Denmark and then take a short ferry over to Finland. I highly recommend it. 

Thanks again for all your help! You are an angel!

Hey @Laura7817, welcome!

I'm rather a new host as well, but learned a lot these past three months. I think that the listing is great overall. However, as Kia mentioned, it would be helpful to understand which rooms belong to each building.

Also, I highly recommend to create a Guidebook telling about what activities you can do near your place or even include activities your place offers in here. 

I'm also continue learning from the community!

Cheers, 

Maria
