We spent a wonderful weekend in Cecilia's incredibly cozy apartment. The apartment is located in one of Stockholm's most beautiful neighborhoods. Cecilia was very welcoming and generous and had prepared everything for our arrival. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. She welcomed us with gluten-free cookies and bread and had even prepared breakfast for us! Her local tips were invaluable, and we went to restaurants, cafés, and Christmas markets that she recommended, in addition to our original plans for the weekend. Stockholm is so beautiful in December, and spending the first Sunday of Advent in Cecilia's apartment was a truly special experience. This was the most local (Pluto-) exchange we have ever done, just 50 km from home. Thank you for everything, we are very happy with our stay and would love to come back someday. Welcome to our home anytime!
It was a real pleasure to meet you, thank you very much for coming! Hope we can make a summer cottage exchange next year!
Cecilia's home was quite close to downtown and other places of interest, with easy access to the Metro lines. Walking to the main shopping area was a matter of a few minutes. The neighborhood is safe, quiet and pleasant. We enjoyed meeting Cecilia and her lovely dog for Fika during the run of very pleasant weather in Stockholm. Communication was excellent.
We had a wonderful time in Cecilia’s characterful apartment. Its ideally situated close to the city centre and major attractions with easy access to public transport. Walking distance to lovely restaurants and cafes. The stairs did take a little getting used to but the apartment is so unique and convenient ( and a great view) it’s totally worth it.
Cecilia was really easy to talk to and flexible about the arrangements. We split our trip between a city stay and her wonderful rural waterfront cottage - such a great experience!!
Cecilia took us on a tour of her local area which we really enjoyed, a lovely host!!
We highly recommend Sweden and Cecilia!!
We had the best stay at Cecilia's home in what the Swedish know as the "best" part of Stockholm (according to the locals that I spoke to). It's quiet, safe, clean, and everything is conveniently close by. Cecilia really went the extra mile, and invited my daughter and I to a small Swedish town where we enjoyed Fika with her and then she dropped us off at a Swedish bath house for my daughter to swim. Her place is perfect, and her hospitality was much appreciated. Stockholm is a must visit!
Thank you very much Miranda. So glad you enjoyed your visit. It was a real pleasure to meet, and have you stay as my first PLU guests!
Cecilia and her friends were a joy to host. Warm and engaging, they treated my home as their own and left everything as they found it- as well as bringing me lovely gifts from Sweden. I am so pleased to have met Cecilia and hope to stay in touch into the future!!
Cecilia with her dog was excellent guests.
This was a a combo of a non-sim/sim- exchange as we had some overlapning days.
Communication with Cecilia was easy and very kind. She took time to give us recommendations even during her stay at ours, making sure we had the best experience/time at hers. This was above and beyound.
We came back to a tidy cabin, and not a single doghair anywhere.
Cecilia lend our kayak, and took very good care of it.
Cecilia was a delight to host. She was communicative throughout, and took care of our house, leaving it in a great condition. We love that she appreciated and took interest in the decor (we love collecting vintage) that we have. We can't wait to visit her in Sweden too, and would be happy to host her again.
Veronica and her family were wonderful guests, absolutely delightful. Easy communication beforehand, warm and friendly, forbearing/patient when there was an unfortunate extra bed malfunction the first night, brought very nice gifts and left the apartment in excellent order.
Tack för allt, Cecilia! Vi är otroligt nöjda med vår helg i din mysiga lägenhet.
Katrina’s home is almost new, very comfortable, clean and well appointed. The kitchen is a chef’s dream. Nice garden for sitting out. The house is a great base for exploring Enniskillen and the surrounding areas. It is in a quiet location on the outskirts of the town. Katrina gives excellent suggestions about what to see, and where to go. She is a wonderful hostess, very kind and generous. It was very nice to catch up again with her and her friend Catherine after they came to my cottage in May.
Thank you Cecilia, it was wonderful to see you again and meet your friends. Thank you for the great care you took with everything and your generosity!
Eva and her family were lovely guests in my cottage. Communication was easy. Eva was very helpful in adjusting my dates slightly when a wedding invitation turned up and there was a bit of a clash with dates. She and her family were very enthusiastic guests, which was very nice, and super helpful when leaving, with offering to do sheet and towel laundry, which of course was beyond expectations.
Eva’s cottage is a lovely place for R&R and as a base for exploring the very scenic and idyllic area. Easy to reach from Copenhagen. It is a luxury that it has its own sea frontage, at the end of the large garden, and with a bathing jetty very close by. Eva very kindly lent out the family kayaks, and it was a treat to be able to go out on a lovely, calm morning, straight from the property. Sea views from the cottage and beautiful sunset views from the end of the garden. The cottage is not too big, but very well planned, and very clean and tidy. Communication was easy and Eva provided excellent advice about the local excursions/attractions.
It was a pleasure to have Rustam and Efti as guests. Easy communication setting up the exchange, they kindly treated me to a nice cafe', it was very nice to meet and I got valuable tipoffs for when hopefully visiting Portugal this autumn, and they left the apartment in excellent order.
Eunice' and her husband's apartment is a gem, in a lovely neighbourhood in the 17th arr, and it is a treat to stay there. The apartment is in a beautiful building, is beautifully decorated, very clean and very well appointed. Comfortable even in a heatwave. The street is very quiet, and at the same time the area has lots of nice restaurants, cafes and shops. A very nice neighbourhood, away from mass tourism areas and at the same time with easy access to other parts of Paris. Eunice is a very helpful and generous hostess, leaving detailed guides, delicious gifts and even ready to use travel cards!
Katrina and her friend were lovely guests! Easy communication, very nice to meet, and left both the apartment and cottage very tidy, plus were so kind as to leave presents from Ireland. Recommended! A funny detail regarding the name People Like Us; Katrina's friend's luggage included a canvas bag with the same Japanese art print as I have myself. We compared them in the hallway!
It was a real pleasure to meet Miranda and her daughter and have them staying in my apartment. Warm, friendly, easygoing and enthusiastic. Smooth communication, and left the apartment very tidy. Highly recommended guests!
