Staying in Carter, Steve, and Oberon’s home was truly one of the highlights of our New York trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable. Their flat is absolutely beautiful — full of character, warmth, and thoughtful details. The art, frames, mid-century modern furniture, gorgeous flooring, and exposed brick wall made the space feel so unique and cozy. You could truly tell every piece had been chosen with love.
The location was simply perfect — walkable to so much, incredibly convenient for the subway and airport access, and yet the flat was surprisingly spacious, which felt like such a luxury in New York.
We especially appreciated the kindness, flexibility, and trust Carter and Steve showed in welcoming our family — including our twin 10-year-old boys — into their beautiful home and trusting us with easygoing Oberon. Their flexibility with an early check-in and thoughtfulness during our short stay meant so much to us.
It genuinely felt less like an exchange and more like being welcomed by people we had known for a long time. With so many people they could have chosen for a home exchange, we feel very lucky and grateful they chose us. We truly hope they’ll come visit us in Kelowna BC anytime — they’ll always be warmly welcomed.
