We had a wonderful time at Terje and Helen’s home! It is cozy and comfortable, and the location is amazing. The apartment is right next to a beautiful marina with sailboats, a couple small beaches, convenient supermarkets, a train station (with no sound because it's built into the mountain), a great gym with a very friendly owner, and everything else we might have needed. The communication with Terje was spectacular ever since we first connected and arranged the exchange. He was very responsive and proactive, sharing great ideas for fun things to do nearby to feel like a local. We took advantage of these opportunities and we’re so glad we did! It helped us really understand the Norwegian culture and everyone we met was very friendly and nice. Terje & Helen were very kind to let us use their bikes and car, which opened up all kinds of exploration and adventures for us: A Viking Museum and ships in nearby towns, Oslo, a fantastic Naval Museum with a real submarine you can walk inside and much more. A highlight of our stay was Terje and Helen inviting us to visit them at their summer cabin and showing us around the beautiful nature spots with amazing views and then treating us to a delicious traditional Norwegian meal. We really enjoyed our awesome Norwegian adventure! -
Very nice stay with Terje and Anne-Hélène. The apartment is nice, clean and modern, very well located, near the train station which makes getting around easier. Terje and Anne-Hélène were very welcoming and available throughout the stay. Thank you for this meeting near Larvik, in nature. Good luck! -
Holmestrand was actually my favorite part of my 27 day stay in Norway. The town is beautiful, right on the fjord. Terje had a couple of E-bikes that we took out a couple of times to explore a neighboring town. We also loved walking up on the ridge where the views are amazing. We often went to his rooftop patio for a glass of wine and enjoy the view. As for Terje, he was the nicest guy ever! He was there to meet our train and when we didn’t get off that train in time, he graciously went to the next train stop to meet us. He was so welcoming and kind. He made several suggestions about sites to see and let us use his car to travel there. He helped us so much and we really appreciated him. His home had everything we needed and we slept very well in the comfy bed. -
Terje and Anne are among the best hosts we have had in many years of exchanging. They were very kind, helpful and friendly. Their flat is very clean and comfortable containing everything necessary for a pleasant stay.. It is in an excellent position in a beautiful little town. We recommend it highly. -
So nice and warm welcome I could not even wish for. Terje accepted my request on laste minute exchange and welcomed us perfectly. In their home we had everything we needed. The apartment is in the center, very near to the grocery shop and other shops and also close to the coast. It is equipped with everything you will need and more. The whole time of our stay and before our stay, Terje was on our disposal wiht useful information, suggestion on what to do and see. He and his wife were great hosts, for every recommendation. We loved our firs PLU swap thanks to those wonderful people.
