John and I were warmly welcomed by Lisa and her daughter and helped make our stay very enjoyable. Lisa kindly provided us with some essential food items and a professionally designed house/city information document, which was very handy. The basement apartment was very comfortable and a nice place to return to after much walking during the day. It was lovely being able to spend some time with them again after their stay with us last March and were grateful for their flexible, generous and kind welcome throughout. Warm wishes, Karen and John
We were very well received by Lisa in person and had a pleasant stay with her. The numerous instructions she gave us were very useful to us and we are very grateful to her for welcoming us on our return to Montreal before taking our plane back to France.
I did not meet Lisa and her granddaughter (but maybe in Montreal in July?) but we exchanged many messages before, during and after their stay in Paris and communication was fluid and friendly.
See you soon, Lisa, and come back for more another time!
Lisa and Olivia were very easy guests who we found warm, friendly and respectful of our home. It was lovely to see that they both made the most of their London trip. We unreservedly recommend them as future guests to wherever they travel next.
Let’s hope we may see them again in Montreal!
Karen and John🌻
Thank you so much both of you :-) Hopefully you can make it this fall!
John and Karen stayed in my basement apartment recently and it was lovely to host them and see them again. They were very respectful of the space and very easy going. I would highly recommend them for any future exchanges. Looking forward to seeing them again should our travel plans coincide. Our door is always open to them.:-)
Martine and her lovely family were guests in my primary and basement apartments. They were very friendly and my daughter and I greatly enjoyed sharing a meal with them before their departure. Everything was left as it was found. I would love to host them again in our home.
Quel plaisir de séjourner chez Martine et Michel. Un petit gouter et du vin nous attendais dans cet appartement parfait pour ma fille et moi. Il ne nous manquait rien, tout avait été prévu pour nous, même des petits biscuits pour ma fille. Facile d’accès, petit ascenseur.
Le quartier est vraiment sympa, avec des bons restos, boulangeries et boutiques à 2 pas de l’appartement. Le métro est prêt aussi. Quel plaisir de marcher le matin dans les rues pittoresques, un pain au chocolat à la main (attention les canadiens, ce n’est est une chocolatine à Paris !) On prenait rarement le métro, on marchait.
Je recommande fortement cette demeure, ça parait que Martine et Michel sont des pros de l’échange de maison. Je rêve d’y retourner et passer plus que 4 jours.
Merci Martine et Michel! Au plaisir de se rencontrer en juillet à Montréal :-)
Thank you very much Lisa! I am delighted that you spent a few pleasant days in Paris, you can come back whenever you want!! I will be delighted to meet you in Montreal in July!
Karen and John were wonderful hosts in their lovely London home. Every effort was made to make us feel welcome and they truly treated us like family with the attention and advice that was given. Very relaxed, calm vibe, just what we needed with our hectic schedule.
The commute to central London was straightforward, we took both the train and city bus on different occasions, we felt very safe and there were restaurant and shopping options nearby. I would highly recommend their home for an exchange and Karen and John as guests they are lovely, kind people.
Thank you Karen and John! Olivia and I are looking forward to seeing you again this fall on Montreal :-).
