The 8 best Airbnbs in Stockholm

Get your hygge-fix and live like a local at these stunning Scandi apartments

Advertising

If you're after a holiday that is nothing but pure chilled vibes and amazing landscapes, culture, and food, look no further than Stockholm, the mellow capital of Sweden. The ABBA museum is worth the trip alone. This Swedish city has some great restaurants and bars to get you started. And if you're in the mood for sightseeing, the city and surrounding areas are home to some incredible natural landscapes. The Stockholm archipelago has a whole host of nature reserves you can tour by boat. A trip away, however, needs a peaceful and cool place to stay and rest, and Airbnb has an array of incredible places. From swanky city apartments to quirky eco-friendly spots for groups. We’ve picked a selection of the best to help you with your planning. 

Updated October 2024: As Södermlam is one of the trendiest spots in Stockholm, we couldn't leave you hanging. Instead we've added two cosy apartments in that neck of the woods to make exploring this neighbourhood a breeze.

Stockholm’s best Airbnbs

1. The tiny home for the whole family in Älvsjö

If you’re looking for something a little different, this newly built tiny house might take your fancy. With a lower bedroom and a loft area, this little house in a prime location is a perfect spot for friends or for a family of four. It’s also very well connected to the main areas of Stockholm city, with just a short walk through a park. The swanky apartment looks out over a well-kept garden you can relax in the sun (when you’re not dancing to the built-in speakers inside).

2. The island getaway in the Österåker Municipality

Stockholmers don’t call their city ‘beauty on water’ for nothing. Soak up the natural wonder of the archipelago at this enormous island getaway. This modern three-bed (which sleeps six) is surrounded by woodland, within walking distance to two beaches and comes with its own hot tub. Pretty neat, eh? 

Rooms? Five. Sleeps six guests.
Mood? Island getaway.
Location perks? So. Much. Greenery.
Budget range? High-end but worth it for the amenities.

3. The bohemian four-sleeper in Gamla Stan

When there are so many blankets and soft furnishings to be seen, it’s hard to imagine you won’t be comfy in this quirky apartment. Vibrant and covered in patterns, it’s a far cry from the Scandi chic we’ve all become accustomed to – but that’s not a bad thing. Besides, it’s located in peaceful Gamla stan, so sightseeing is super easy and relaxing come evening is a breeze.

Rooms? One. Sleeps four guests.
Mood? Eclectic AF.
Location perks? In the heart of Old Town, in a house from the 17th century. Pretty epic, right?
Budget range? Very affordable. 

4. The vintage three-bed in Ostermalm

Feeling flush? You will be after a stay on the top floor of this former bank. It’s strictly coasters only (ring marks on that antique furniture probably wouldn’t go down too well). And there’s a handily located fireplace to plonk yourself in front of, plus a wall of books to devour while you’re there.

Rooms? Three. Sleeps four guests.
Mood? Hygge personified.
Location perks? Super central location with all the access you need to explore the city at large. 
Budget range? Worth every penny.

5. The secluded house in Österåker V

If there are a few more of you than just two, this incredible house on a lake fits nine. So bring your buddies to this house with a lake plot in the middle of nowhere, and have a holiday to remember. A mile away from Åkersberga, the area is 95 square meters with a fireplace, kitchen and spectacular lake view. There are also two terraces and a barbecue, as well as a huge lawn, a spot to fish with a rowing boat, and even a sauna. Sounds like the kind of place you never want to leave, but if you do, it’s 3km to the sea. 

Rooms? Three. Sleeps nine guests.
Mood? Lakeside luxury.
Location perks? 
Live your best life in this beautiful lakeside Airbnb – complete with surrounding woodlands.
Budget range? Mid-range but luxury offering.

6. The eco-friendly B&B just outside the city centre

If solar panels, lakeside saunas and environmentally friendly materials have got your sustainability senses tingling, make a beeline for this beautiful B&B, located in an ‘eco-village’, which has a nature reserve right on its doorstep. And with the city just a 15-minute train ride away, it’s easy enough to pop into town if you’ve had enough of all that awful fresh air. 

Rooms? One. Sleeps two guests.
Mood? Eco-friendly backpacker energy.
Location perks? Nature and a sense of community are all around – and we're here for it.
Budget range? Affordable for a room.

7. The hipster heaven in Södermalm

If you've been geeking out over interior design videos on TikTok as much as we have, then you'll really appreciate how the rug and plant help you transition between the dining space and the living room. It's genius. In fact, we dig it just as much as the overall airy and modern vibe of this one bed that's spacious enough for a family of four. It's a stunning location too - with a whole bunch of cafes and restaurants, museums and parks to explore. 

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps four.
Mood? Cosy modern.
Location perks? Super close to central station. 

Budget range? Moderately-priced.  

8. The small but cosy one in Södermalm

Like we said, it's on the smaller side but still incredibly cosy in this art-deco-inspired apartment, complete with enviable views of Old Town and Salt Lake. Oh, and one other thing you'll notice about this cute dig is the sliding door separating the living room from the bedroom. We kind of like it for the simple fact that it opens up the space, and creates a little passagway. And if you enjoy reading before bed as we do, that pink chair will quickly become your favourite spot. That's a promise. 

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleep two guests. 
Mood? Chic and snuggly. 
Location perks? Charming historic backdrop of Gamla Stan. 

Budget range? A wee bit spenny, but so worth it.
