Having to visit Växjö for an academic conference, I found Maria’s place to be the perfect retreat from conference fatigue.

The apartment is spotless, spacious, thoughtfully arranged, and—based on my personal taste—features a wonderfully comfortable sofa. Unfortunately, my schedule meant I had to leave early each day and only returned late at night.

Still, one memorable detail stands out: the “alarm clock” here comes not in sound, but in the delightful aroma drifting up from the bakery downstairs, which also offers guests a special discount. For visitors, tourists, or academics spending time at nearby Linnaeus University, Maria’s place is truly worth both your time and money.
