Funny and nice tips. Thank you very much! These are now in my holiday notebook in the "Sweden tips" tab. Good to take out when needed.

The picture from the aircraft hangar evoked old army memories for me. Not exactly a holiday feeling.
Rafts in the Stockholm archipelago look much nicer.
But for me, Getingstorp is the place to be.

We have tried AirBnb for the first time this spring and are more than satisfied. Rented a super nice apartment in the centre of Budapest at an incredibly good price. So I can highly recommend AirBnb.
Your suggestions looked lovely, maybe something for next summer.

Fun accommodation!
The most unusual accommodation in Sweden that we've tried is probably that hostel in the jumbo jet at Arlanda Airport. Fun to try, but rather expensive for a hostel...

Ditte, fun with a little different holiday accommodation. Have not tried Airbnb myself, but can imagine trying it at some point.
Steve, haha, no, maybe it's not the military service you want to relive on holiday....
😉
Catharina, nice to hear about your experience! Then maybe you'll dare to try something through them at some point!
Lennart, yes of course, that's always the case.
😉
BP, I'd like to think so too
😉
Lena & Jan, you can imagine completely different accommodation, and completely different environments, at different times!
Ama de casa, that's definitely odd, I have to agree. I don't know if I've tried any really odd accommodation... but I looked at an interesting one today, which I'll tell you about soon!
