Happy to meet up for coffee or show you some local sights!
Very comfortable apt with lots of light, but the best thing about it was Winnie and Patrick. They were super helpful, very communicative, had great recommendations, and even offered to take care of us if a pilot strike delayed our departure.
That was not an easy one to organize but once it was … the rest was very smooth ! Winnie has been very autonomous and did not request much support onsite.
I am glad it worked out in the end. I am also grateful for PLU support team help in getting Winnie’s phone number. I believe that adding phone numbers to our profile is a great enhancement when technology is failing we can always rely on a phone call 😀
Patrick and Winnie were terrific guests in our home. They were our first family and so we really appreciated learning the ropes from them. When they left, they made sure that the sheets were washed, bed was made, and that the place looked like it had when they walked in. I highly recommend them as guests.
We are thankful and really happy that we got to stay at this beautiful and spacious hotel room at the Palm while we were in Dubai for a family's wedding. We were able to get dry cleaning done easily (very important for a wedding!) and the complimentary valet was icing on the cake. Though we didn't use much of the hotel's amenities due to wedding activities and spending most of our time with families, we took a walk one late evening and saw the beach, infinity pool, plenty of deck chairs and restaurants. Anick was understanding, patient and gave a lot of info to ensure we had a great stay. Honestly, we couldn't have used our globe for a better stay.
Anick, thank you again for reaching out via whatsapp and making this happen. And we look forward to our next stay when we visit family in Dubai again.
Side note: We had to pay AED20 cleaning fee daily (for other guests' future reference) but we honestly didn't mind as we were busy with family's wedding activities and were happy to have daily housekeeping.
It was a lovely stay at Lucy and Dennis' place. As they were new to home exchange, we made sure to have 2 video calls and met in advance. It was great to be able to experience a different part of Montreal - their home was 10 mins easy walk to the metro, near shops and restaurants, and most importantly, the beds were very comfortable. It was a spacious home (a family with more people would definitely appreciate the amount of space). We are really excited for Lucy and Dennis to go on this new exciting home exchange journey and would recommend them as hosts.
