This property was quite charming and as described in the listing. It met all of our needs and the location to stores in Stockholm was terrific. There were a few things that surprised us (not negatives, we just didn’t expect these:TRAINS: The house is about 150’ from two train tracks. Trains run all day/night at periodic intervals. The good news is they don’t blare their horns when running through Stockholm. But the trains are noisy, and we didn’t see anything about this in the listing. It is noted, however, that no houses in this area escape the train noise!TRAFFIC NOISE: This house sits on the main road through Stockholm, so the rooms with a wall common to the front of the house (the downstairs master bedroom and the largest upstairs bedroom) both experience LOTS of road noise from traffic that passes less than 20’ from the house. This was also not advertised in the listing, and for us, the road traffic noise was actually more bothersome than the trains. While it did quiet down at night, it started up around 5:00 am.PRIVACY: The house is on the main road through Stockholm, and the house used to be a retail shop. So, we had to get used to shoppers parking right outside the front door, and some of them peered through the front door glass thinking the home was a shop (likely because of the “Banner Cottage” sign that identifies the house and hangs out front). So, it took us a bit to get used to the lack of privacy.These are not show stoppers — you just should be aware.
