Our house is placed about 10 minutes, by bike, bus or car, from the centre of Malmo and 20 min from the beach. To Copenhagen it takes maximum 30 minutes by train. The train and bus station are five minutes walk from the house. The bus to the regional Airport is at the same bus stop.
Our house is built 1949 and we made renovations over the years. As the city has grown the house is nowadays rather centrally situed. The kitchen is from 2011 and the bath rooms renovated 2013. We have one fully bath room on the second floor with a shower and bath tube. On the first floor we have only a toilet. You find 4 bed rooms; two for our sons, who now are adults 18 and 20 years old, a master bedroom on the second floor and a guest room on the first floor. Totally five good beds and some extra beds (for a kid) could be arranged. The living room is combined dining area. In the basement we have the washer and so on. We offer 3 bikes for adults and 1 for kids. The garden is fantastic and has a barbecue.
Malmo is the third largest city in Sweden and it has the small city's charm. Malmo is known for its many parks and that welcome to nice park walks in the middle of the centre. Also Malmo has a good structure of bike roads which makes it so easy to bike everywhere in the town! In our family we all take bikes to and from work and school! The Malmo beach is a sand beach and it takes about 20-30 minutes to bike there, ofcourse one can drive or take the bus as well. Outside Malmo you find very beautiful beaches such as Ljunghusen and Höllviken but then you have to drive. In the city of Malmo you find everything you can ask for!

The region, Skane, is very beautiful and you find attractions close by such as Ystad were Wallander walks and Osterlen to mention some famous places.

Notes
Between the floors there is stairs made of stone. Very small kids should be looked after carefully since we have removed the safety gates as our boys grew older.
We have a very sweet and kind cat. We would be happy if she can stay in the house but if not we will arrange accomodation for her.

Getting around
If we agreed on a car swap that is an easy way to get around. Otherwhise is biking good in Malmo since there are a lot of bike roads. Personally, we bike to and from work every day. The busses are 10 minutes from the house and that is another option ofcourse!
