This is strongly affected by the company culture and what sort of job you have. If the company culture is more oriented towards results and independent working style then it's better. If it's a strongly regimented company with a culture of presenteeism and strict working time then it will be worse.

What sort of job are you doing? Is it one with more independent work (researcher, sales lead generation, programmer) or group work with colleagues (project management, assistant, etc)? If you can work more independently, that's better.

Being able to work at home some days will benefit you greatly - try to get that.

Taking a guess, because they're Swedish, you'll be expected to show up on time but not to work late, which is better than some places.

It will become very wearing; hopefully your partner is the sort who is happy to do most things without you, otherwise there's going to be a lot of domestic strain.

I reckon in a couple of years you will either want to relocate to Stockholm or find another job. Make sure either of those is possible when the time comes.
