General overview
Debrecen is the second largest city of Hungary after our magnificent capital Budapest. You can reach Budapest with 2 hours driving (3 hours on the train).
I do suggest using of public transport (safe, reliable and relaxing + save your enviroment).
Debrecen is famous for the annual summer flower carnival on the 20th of August (on our national celebration day, St Stephan's day) . The city is full of tourists and people are standing alongside of the roads in the city centre to see the flower compositions and marching musicians and dance groups.
That time of the year is very hot, usually around 30 degrees Celsius but most of the summer starting from end of May until middle of September has very dry and hot weather around 30 or even higher temperatures. The best time to go to the open-air water park of Debrecen that has been completely rebuilt some years ago. Think one of the best architectural solution of a baths.

In winter time we hardly have snow here and not so chilly as it was years ago. The daily average temperature is above zero so no frost bite on your face :)
In winter the best to do enjoy the Hungarian thermal spa culture (you need to wear swimming suit or some places only towel).
The ground under our feet is rich in hot thermal water and almost every bigger town has its thermal bath so you can decide if want to relax in a big one in a big city sharing with many people or prefer a small almost empty thermal bath in a small town for very cheap.
Entrance fees are very low comparing to any western European country in general.
Also the food in canteens or restaurants are much cheaper in debrecen than in budapest or in western Europe.
Important to highlight that you can buy beer the cheapest in Debrecen comparing to european cities!!!

We loved staying in Debrecen. The appartment was clean and good equipped. Tünde was very helpfull in advance and throughout the exchange. We would definately recommend this place for future guests!
Tünda's apartment is in the city center. There are many beautiful fountains, beautiful old town architecture, great restaurants and many wonderful spa centers in town and near the city. All age groups will find fun there.
I' really happy that we could stay in Tünde´s apartment in the beatiful city of Debrecin. It is perfect place to relax, it have many great spa centers, cheap and tasty food and delicious wines. Everything was so close and we realy had enjoyable relaxed days. The apartment is equped with everything that you need for stay and it is very comfortable.
The communication was smooth and helpfull. Tunde left our house spotless. We would definately recommend her for staying at your home.
Tünda is very kind and helpful, providing any information about trips around the town. It was a great stay.
Tünde was very helpful so we could quickly find our way around the city and make the best use of our time. I am looking forward to my next stay because I definitely want to come back.
Xander and Marloes home was spotlessly clean, everything was nicely arranged and looked amazing. They also have 2 cats but they were really low maintenance cats able to go in and out only food and water refill that they needed. They let us use whatever we needed. Their home is perfectly equipped, really appreciated the freshly grounded coffee from their coffee machine. They also have dish washer and dryer to enhance the comfort. The beds were comfortable, and were ready for us when we arrived. Their beautiful garden was a perfect place to relax after long sightseeing tours. They also let us use the bikes, which is a real plus since I love cycling which is a must in the Netherlands. We had a wonderful holiday in their home. Also the communication was perfect and clear with them.
Xander and Marloes arrived as we agreed in my flat. They looked after my home as it was theirs, they kept up it's cleanliness. When I first entered my flat after they left, it was the same nice and perfectly clean as I prepared for them. Maybe it was even more arranged. Was really great to realise I don't need to clean or arrange anything. Thanks to Marloes
Martina's apartment is in the heart of the city. Everything is walking distance from her place. The apartment is super clean and perfectly equiped with everything that we needed. The freshly grounded coffee is the real treat. The furniture looks brand new and great style. Staying there feels like you are in a castle looking up the ceiling. She provided all the necessary information we needed and also travel guides not only about the city but about other places worth visiting nearby. Banska Bystrica has a lovely old town character where you can find nicely renovated buildings, churces, World war II museums, mountains everywhere, rivers crossing each other in the city. It was hot so we spent time in the bath which is also walking distance from the apartment. Would be great to go back one day and see those places she suggested to visit.
Martina travelled and arrived as we agreed. She used and considered my home as if it was hers, everything was clean when she left. Special thank you for the present she left in my apartment :) Hoping all my exchange partners will be the same kind, reliable and clean.
Martina's home is in a beautiful area close to the mountains. The apartment has everything that we needed for our 6 day stay. It was very clean and very easy to find. We got all information and help.
Martina was extremely helpful and gave ideas about where and how to go. We would love to go back to hike and enjoy the Tatras.
Martina was very reliable about her arrival. She treated my home as if it would be hers. She informed me when she wanted to leave and everything was very clean after her stay.

We are a 4 member family with a 21 and 19 year old boy and girl. We have some cats as well but they live in our house while I offer my city centre equiped and furnished flat for a home swap.
We are open minded and easy going ready for travel and explore other places, other cultures.
