For that, I need a haven. Accommodation that captures the essence of Swedish style: quietly intelligent, pared back but warm. Simple without being basic. Functional, beautiful, and rooted in nature. And in The Charred House, I find just that.<\/p>\n<p>Tucked away on the island of Stora Essingen, a 30-minute tram ride from the city centre, this treetop hideaway is the work of renowned Swedish architect and furniture designer, Mattias Stenberg.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"My favourite Airbnb a barefoot hideaway in the treetops of Stockholm\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/favourite-airbnb-stockholm-Sept9-PR-Global-%20(3).jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00c5ke E:son Lindman<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"My favourite Airbnb a barefoot hideaway in the treetops of Stockholm\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/favourite-airbnb-stockholm-Sept9-PR-Global-%20(4).jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00c5ke E:son Lindman<\/p>\n<p>We find the house down a steep flight of stone steps, its charcoal fa\u00e7ade blending into the cliffside. Spread across two offset levels and hugged by trees, it feels less built on the landscape than carved into it \u2013 barnacled to the rock face, as if it\u2019s always been there.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, we exhale. Bleached pine beams line the ceiling and frame enormous windows, which flood the space with light and send shadows of leaves dancing across the concrete floor. At Stenberg\u2019s suggestion, we remove our shoes and feel the cool of the original concrete foundation beneath our feet, shaved down to create a natural terrazzo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"My favourite Airbnb a barefoot hideaway in the treetops of Stockholm\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/favourite-airbnb-stockholm-Sept9-PR-Global-%20(10).jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00c5ke E:son Lindman<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"My favourite Airbnb a barefoot hideaway in the treetops of Stockholm\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/favourite-airbnb-stockholm-Sept9-PR-Global-%20(9).jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00c5ke E:son Lindman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unlike childhood visits spent surfing my grandma\u2019s sofa, this time I arrive as a tired Londoner, in search&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8327,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[83],"tags":[6293,6944,2258,131,132],"class_list":["post-8326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-stockholm","tag-airbnb","tag-my-favourite-airbnb","tag-shopping","tag-stockholm","tag-sweden"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
