This apartment was perfect for us. We felt at home immediately and it had everything we needed. It’s in a great location of the city and perfect for going on day excursions. Mike and Frank were available for any questions and left a nice packet of local tourist information. This experience is the kind everyone hopes for…we enjoyed meeting each other and look forward to exchanging again!
Mike and Frank were great guests and left the apartment spotless, I recommend them for future discussions.
Mike, Frank, and their two dogs were ideal guests in my home. They left everything in it’s original place and the home was spotless when we returned. We kept in touch during the exchange and communicated when we had questions. I highly recommend them as guests and will welcome them for future exchanges.
We had a wonderful stay at Nadege’s home in Paris. The place was well-located near shops, restaurants, RER and metro. Nadege gave us some great tips on where to go and what to do. We hope to do another exchange with her!
I am very happy that you had a wonderful stay!
I recommend Mike and Franck as guests and I hope we will see each other again one day at your place in Portugal! In the meantime, good luck!
We really enjoyed our stay at Harmony's home! It was a perfect location for walks on the beach and close to local bars and restaurants. Loads of space for us and our four legged kids. Had everything we needed to enjoy our 3 week stay!
Thanks Mike and Frank, I look forward to exchanging again.
Harmony is wonderful! We had a chance for several chats before our adventure. This was our first exchange and Harmony made it easy. She took care of our home as if it were hers. We would gladly do another exchange with her!
