The best Airbnbs in Stockholm (updated 2025)

Best for: a family stay in a quietly trendy neighbourhood

In September 2024, I stayed here for four nights. The apartment isn’t huge, but its two cosy bedrooms and living/kitchen/dining room felt easily spacious enough for a party of three adults and a toddler. The apartment block is on a rocky outcrop, and from ground level it’s a ride up several floors in a dinky, retro wooden lift, so you really feel like you’re high above the city – and the sunset views from the living-room balcony are epic. I loved the bright, bold décor (a stylish diversion from the greige uniformity of many Stockholm interiors) and my three-year-old loved the selection of kid’s toys.

Location perks: Your local area is Hornstull, the westernmost tip of Stockholm’s trendy southern island of Södermalm. You’re surrounded by water here, with café terraces and a weekend market along the lakefront, and an idyllic swimming beach on nearby Långholmen. Hornstull T-Bana station has speedy metro access to the city centre, plus a great ICA supermarket.

Rooms? Two (for up to three guests). 
Mood? Slow mornings in a quiet neighbourhood.
Budget range? Pricey. 

💡 Editor’s tip: The massive Tantolunden park is just down the road, with a beautiful colony of allotments, an impressive playground and a lake swimming spot, Tantobadet. Book in advance and you can even use the community sauna.

This flat in Kungsholmen (just west of Norrmalm, Stockholm’s central district) is the ideal spot if you want to feel like you’ve got away from it all – while still being an easy metro ride to anywhere in the city. It features a mega sound system, shared access to the lake outside, and the host recommends the café on the same street for your morning coffee. 

Rooms? One double. 
Mood? Moody, arty vibes. 
Location perks? Residential vibes, nice cafés and an easy walk to the city centre. 
Budget range? Cheaper than most – very reasonable. 

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).

Rooms? Two (for up to four guests). 
Mood? A cute and cosy getaway.
Location perks? You’re sandwiched in the middle of Herrängen and Segeltorp, which means you’re just a five-minute walk from lake Långsjön for a cold swim. 
Budget range? If you’re splitting between four, very reasonable. 

💡 Editor’s tip: You can rent up to four bikes at this flat, for 150SEK a day. 

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.

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.  

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
