Laura was a great guest. Communication before and during the exchange was prompt and effective, and they left the apartment spotless. Highly recommended.
Laura and her partner Brent are lovely to exchange with. They left our home in a very clean and tidy condition. Laura even put clean sheets on our bed for us, knowing that we would be getting home late at night. They left a lovely thank you card. The whole process from start to finish was very easy. They were great to engage with, and came prepared to our zoom conversation with lots of specific questions. I would happily swap with them again.
Our visit to Edinburgh was for our honeymoon, and so the place we landed at the end of each day was important. Dom and Sarah made this experience complete. First of all, the flat was in a centrally located, idyllic and historic neighbourhood of Stockbridge. We walked pretty well everywhere. from catching the bus to visit the iconic landmarks, to running out for groceries. The flat was thoughtfully renovated, modern in design, with all the amenities. Communication was prompt and clear. We were made to feel welcomed and at home at every turn. We highly recommend this spot, but book it early, as I'm sure it is a popular choice.
Our one week stay in Amy and Satyam's 2 bdrm, New York City apartment was great. What a lovely family friendly neighbourhood was Brooklyn's Park Slope. So convenient to bus and subway routes and easily walkable to all the amenities we required. Our hosts were great at communicating throughout the entire process. A perfect home base for our forays to art museums, a jazz club and a Broadway play to celebrate my birthday.
