We stayed for 9 nights in Hanna and Filip's wonderful home. The house was very comfortable and spacious, the photos don't do it justice. Local transport was easy to use and the house is the perfect location for Uppsala and the countryside. Their cats were very friendly and no trouble to look after. If you want a swap that's close to nature but also town, Hanna's house is perfect.
Hanna and her family were the perfect guests. They left the place spotless and they even took great care of our plants. Communication was excellent before and during the swap.
Feedback for Lizzie·Simultaneous exchange·9 nights
We absolutely loved our stay in Lizzies house! It's very cozy and comfortable and perfectly situated only 10 minutes from the city centre. Lizzie made sure that we felt welcome and gave a good explanation of features in the house. She also gave us recommendations on things to do in the area. I would absolutely recommend her house!

Our house was immaculate when we came home. Everything was well looked after! We have two cats and Lizzie and the family took excellent care of them during their stay.

We are a family of 5 - 2 adults and three kids aged 17, 15 and 9. We love to travel and experience new countries and meet new people. We have a comfy, newly renovated house in historic Uppsala, Sweden with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We have travelled a fair amount, but are new to house exchange.
