We returned home delighted after a hugely successful exchange, having truly enjoyed this wonderful experience in Sweden. We could say so much more—all of it positive—and we will cherish those memories forever. We met Martina and Patrik in Trollhättan before they traveled to our home. It was a pleasure meeting them and chatting about our respective homes and places to explore. They showed us great hospitality, and we appreciate the gestures of friendship they extended during our stay in their lovely home. We truly enjoyed the house and its comforts, as well as the beautiful drives we took in their car around the Trollhättan region. The house is pleasant and comfortable inside, surrounded by greenery outside, and offers a very peaceful atmosphere. There are charming places to explore in the surrounding area. Communication was perfect throughout; we enjoyed sharing our plans and looking at the photos we sent each other. After a week in Vitoria, Patrik returned to Trollhättan, while Martina stayed on at our home with a friend who had come to visit her. We met up with Patrik for coffee to chat about our respective experiences, and it was wonderful. All in all—as I mentioned at the start—it was a successful and wonderful exchange, one that leaves us with great memories and a lasting friendship.

We had a wonderful two-week simultaneous exchange at Martina’s home. The house is spacious and comfortable, with a large garden full of delicious fruits, which was a real treat. We loved the forest walk right next to the house and the lake with its beach – perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Martina is a lovely and welcoming host, and we felt at home straight away. The house also has toys and equipment for children, which was very convenient for our family stay. When we returned, we found our apartment spotless, tidy, and perfectly clean. Two weeks were too short to see everything, but we had an amazing holiday and made wonderful memories. A big thank you to Martina!

The house is idyllic and placed with a beautiful view. Tidy, cosy, and warm in winter! It is placed close to an amazing hiking track and a big lake to swim in or ice skate on, depending on the season. Patrik and Martina are very generous and helpful people. They left us a great guide to the area.

We had a wonderful exchange with Martina and Patrick. Patrick's house is a little palace, vert cosy. We enjoyed the nature around (the forest with mushrooms, and blueberries). Martina prepared a very cute book with advices for the stay ! She lent us her car to go around, it was very nice :)

We are very grateful that Patrik and Martina accepted our request to stay at their charming home in Trollhättan! First of all, they met us with a warm welcome and a basket of treats for us hungry & tired travelers. Everywhere we went, Swedes were the friendliest people we've ever met. But Patrik & Martina are next-level kind, terrific, and well-traveled people too! The house was so charming, cozy, and pleasant; we felt very rested in the peaceful environment there. Patrik was so generous, even offering us access to the other charming cottage with a sauna. We have plans to come back to Sweden and visit more relatives there. And we will be sure to check Patrik & Martina's house for availability and see more of their lovely city. Not enough words can convey our deepest thanks for the beautiful stay. Patrik & Martina, you guys are the best Swedes--but please don't tell our cousins we said that!!!
