What a perfect exchange! We loved Fredrik and Madelen’s cozy place. Ideal for our family, nice neighborhood and lots of kids and a playground just by the townhouse. We had barbecues on the terrace overlooking the kids in the trampoline. The place is close to city centre, just some 10-15 minutes walk through an old classy Villa suburban with magnificent big villas. As an architectural nerd it was a lovely walk. The place got a nice interior, classical Swedish minimalism which gives a calm relaxing atmosphere. Also the train station is close by if you wanna visit Swedens capital Stockholm, round about 50minutes away by train. We sure wanna do more exchanges ! -
We felt right at home staying in Fredrik and Madelen's home in Västerås. It's is an inviting, comfortable and tastefully decorated home and the neighborhood is nice with fun things to do and an easy walk to the center. Communication was easy. We were lucky enough to meet the family before and after the exchange which was lovely. Fredrik gave us lots of nice tips and kept in touch throughout the exchange and afterwards which was nice. We recommend this home and would exchange with them again. I hope to see them sometime in Iceland so I can repay them some of their kindness. -
We loved this home! Very cute and cozy home with lots of room. We ended up hanging out a lot at home. Brian's place was to hang out on the deck/patio out back. We were here in the summer, so there was plenty of daylight hours to enjoy the patio. With bikes or scooter rental, super easy and fast to get into downtown, but also easily walkable if you're uncoordinated like Sara. Lots of walking paths to town. There are other scenic spots outside the city, but you may need a car to get there. There is bus service in town, but it's walkable if you're ok with walking. If you are lucky enough to exchange while Fredrik and his family is in town, they are such generous hosts. They were always reachable if we had questions, and are really a wonderful family. It's not just an exchange, we have new friends now! We look forward to welcoming them back to phuket next year! -
Fredrick and his Family are amazing. The flat was gorgeous, super clean and cozy - actually exactly Like seen on the pictures before. Even better:) Also Västerås is a Little sweet swedish Town. We have seen the first h&m Store in the World!:) We d love to Come back

Fredrik
Hi!
We are a family from Sweden of four people. My name is Fredrik Lamell and my biggest passion is exploring the world and getting to know other cultures and sceneries. My wife Madelen Thors owning four Subway-restaurants in the city Västerås where we today live in. We have our daughter Majken who are 3.5 years old and our son Ruben 2 years old. Earlier have we travelled a lot and when our daughter Majken was borned we bought a camper van, and in Sweden we are lucky because you get 480 days of paid leave which gave us the opportunity to travel a lot with the van and Majken saw 12 countries before the age of 2. As a family, we are non-smokers, and we treat other people's homes with the utmost care and respect. We are happy to have the opportunity to discover other cultures and exchange experiences with you. Cheers and hope to get in touch soon!
