Personal comments
They helped me to find an accommodation however I had not inform at which location would I stay so it was a surpise for me. As I said before the toilet was in a common use so it was a problem for me.

Personal comments
Most Swedes are very good in the English language and they like to speak English. You can do everything in Sweden only with knowing English. Usually Swedes just switch to English language when they notice that you are a foreigner. Therefore it's hard to practise the Swedish language.
