Other things to note Animals: Our old cat Franz stays in the house and takes care of our guests while we are away, and as a guest in the house you may need to refill his food and water. It is absolutely nothing burdensome! In return, he offers warm hospitality in the form of lots of love. This can be good to keep in mind if you are allergic, and also keep in mind that there is usually a dog in the house and that despite proper cleaning there may still be substances that an allergy sufferer reacts to. Electric car charging: It is possible to charge your electric car via our charging box in the garage, please note that we will charge a fee of SEK 3 per kwh.
