We had a great time at Gaelle’s home! The location is wonderful, overlooking the fjord. We watched the ferries and cruise ships come in and dolphins swimming by. Everything was clean and our bed was comfortable.
We had a wonderful stay in Gaelle’s home. Her place is in the perfect location where you are overlooking the fjords from the dining room table and kitchen. It is so calm and peaceful! It is also clean, organized and central to the city.
Thank you again for a great PLU experience!
We spent a few days in Gaëlle, Luca and Enzo's very well-located apartment.
The view makes you feel like you are on a boat !
It was very easy for us to explore the city of Bergen on foot.
Communication with Gaelle was perfect.
Thanks again for letting us enjoy your home.
Thank you so much for your hospitality, Gaelle and family! Our family had a wonderful time and a very comfy stay in Bergen!
Gaelle’s place is very well located in the city center of Bergen, over looking the beautiful fjord! We could walk everywhere we wanted to be from her place! The view from her place is unbelievable! Our kids got excited waking up every morning to look at the cruise ships passing by.
Communication with Gaelle was always pleasant and easy! She gave us so many useful tips and recommendations!
Can’t thank you enough for everything!
Nopa, Alex, Journey and Lyric
We loved Gaelle’s apartment - it is a lovely modern apartment that is close to a lovely historic area. It overlooks the fjord. It is an easy 10 min walk to the central historic area and city with all it’s activity. The apartment is well equipped and comfortable. We loved the location and watching the activity in the harbour with cruise ships coming and going from the balcony. There is a good cafe just a minutes walk away by the side of the port which seemed to be a favourite with locals rather than tourists. Other good places to eat were just 6-7 minutes walking distance away. Communication with Gaëlle was really easy. We had a great stay in Bergen.
Gaëlle is a very pleasant person, discreet and respectful of the accommodation. We had some very nice conversations about the beautiful memories she had during her many exchanges on People Like Us.
Gaëlle will always be welcome and maybe one day we will go see her in Norway!
Hello
Thank you very much for your advice for this first exchange and your feedback message on this stay. We wish you a great summer.
Sincerely,
Celine
Dear Gaelle,
Thank you so much for staying in our home! You and your family were wonderful and thank you for leaving our home cleaner than when you arrived! We appreciate your kindness and the sweet treats you left for us upon your departure.
Filipa et al :)
Gaelle’s family were perfect guests in our home. Communication was easy leading up to the exchange and throughout the stay. They took great care of our place while we were away. I highly recommend an exchange with her lovely family :)
What a beautiful home! It is big, airy, and colorful. Christine did not show pictures of it, but there is a lovely garden with a deck and plenty of space to enjoy a meal outside.
And what can I say about C and her lovely daughter? They are such nice people ♥️
I recommend Gâvres because it is off the beaten track. Choose this place if you want tranquility and peace. The village is authentic, and the beaches are gorgeous.
🏡 About the apartment
It has everything you could possibly need – and more! The coffee maker combined with the little terrace made my morning coffees absolutely perfect.
🗾 About the location
It offers a great balance. You can easily reach the city centre by public transport or taxi whenever you need to, but you're also surrounded by greenery. You can go for walks, pick plums, or ride a bike nearby – it's all right there.
🎳 What did we do besides all the cultural activities you can choose from?
(Remember, I was with two boys, age 13!)
Wakeboarding and SUP at the Molo Bar: Affordable, easy to reach by bike, and the staff were lovely.
Aquapalace: We spent a full day there, but the boys wanted more! If I had planned better, I would have booked a night at the hotel – it gives you better access to the park and probably ends up cheaper. I also visited the sauna area and enjoyed all the rituals.
Chodov Shopping Mall: Don’t ask me... the boys insisted!
Make-your-own-perfume workshop at Organic Lab: They speak English and it was a fun experience.
👨🏻👩🏻👧🏻👦 About the hosts
I’m an experienced exchanger by now… but I was truly surprised 😊 I had lots of WhatsApp exchanges with Katarina, and she helped more than I ever expected. They were incredibly generous! I won’t spoil everything – you should just exchange with this family!
I haven’t met them in person yet, but I’d really love to one day.
I can only thank them for a wonderful holiday. And if you ever exchange with Katarina and her family, you won’t regret it!
Merci beaucoup de nous avoir prêté votre maison au bord de la mer, Céline et Victorien !
Although the house is (as well) on the rental market, it is spacious and welcoming. The pergola in the garden is a great asset.
Landrezac is perfect for families with children: you can walk to the beach and build sand castels, visit the nearby farm, and enjoy drinks, meals, or live music at the café Les Enfants de la Plage. Don’t miss a visit to the Château de Suscinio. Exchangers will need a car to explore the area. Céline's compilation of "things-to see/do" in the area is impressive!
We had great communication with Céline and Victorien, and before long we had bikes and a SUP at our disposal 😊
I know it was their first exchange, and we are very grateful they trusted us with their lovely home. It gave us a wonderful holiday close to where my family lives.
We wish them many more fantastic exchanges to come!
Jenny, Patrick, and the kids were a lovely family. Communication was easy, and they left the cabin clean and tidy.
We only met briefly, and I wish I had had more time to spend with them.
I hope our paths cross again someday. In the meantime, I wish you many happy exchanges!
Filipa's home is conviniently located by a train station taking you anywhere you want in Paris, while having the largest backyard ever (Bois de Saint-Cloud)!
We were 6 persons over 13 years old and the flat is big enough.
We wish Seb and Filipa many happy exchanges!
Communication with Caroline and Don has been frequent and easy. It was nice to meet them in Bergen after they left Voss and the cabin. My impression is that they left the place tidy and clean (despite the hiccup with the washer). I wish this could have been a non-simultaneous exchange so we could meet again, but Tasmania is a bit too far for us (for now).
Have Caroline and Don as guests and you won't have to worry!
Thank you so much Gaëlle, we hope one day we'll see you down in Tasmania to enjoy some of our beautiful scenery too ❤️ And your cabin was great, so comfy with magnificent views! Maybe one day we'll come back but this time in Winter time 🤞😆
Allyson and Ryan’s home is conveniently located in Vancouver. Their home had a perfect size for our holiday. We appreciated very much: the bikes we could borrow (right sizes for the three of us), the terrasse for breakfast, being met by one’s dad on arrival and departure and Ryan’s extensive guide to their home. We can only recommend their comfy and cosy home.
Claudia stayed at our home and we were traveling so it not really possible to give useful feedback.
But as far as we understand, the exchange was a success.
We got a lovely card and nice gifts that are in used today. Thanks !
Communication with A was easy and plenty beforehand. Despite unfortunate events, they managed to prepare our home neatly for the next PLU-group.
The lovely present they left was much appreciated. I have every reason to believe they left our home clean, as the next family was happy. Communication with Lionel has been extremely easy.
I am happy Nopa and her family had a nice stay at our home.
Communication with her was very easy both before, during and after their stay.
I am happy Helen and her small family had a nice stay at our home.
Communication with her was very easy both before and during their stay.
I am happy Abbie and her small family had a nice stay at our cabin.
Communication with her was very easy both before, during and after their stay.
Dialogue with Rinka was/is easy and straight forward.
She and her family left the cabin the way I wanted to find it 😊
It seems they had a nice time and I am glad we could give them a snowy New Year’s Eve. We loved the chocolates and the card they left for us as present.
I would recommend Rinka and her family for an exchange.
