We felt totally at home in Lourdes and Harry’s leafy apartment on the North Shore.
Calm, safe and quiet, and close to everything.
Smooth check in with friendly neighbour.
Easy walk to cafes and restaurants, loved Bonjour Vietnam 🇻🇳 very authentic food and great service.
Walked up to Barrenjoey Point to a breathtaking view.
Met local artisans at East Lindfield markets which we arrived at after a lovely 30 minute walk.
We had a wonderful house exchange experience with Lourdes and Harry. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming and generous hosts, with perfect and easy communication from start to finish.
Their home is very comfortable, clean and well maintained, and fully equipped with everything you need, plus genuinely great coffee, which we really appreciated.
The location is ideal: surrounded by nature, peaceful and green, yet still close enough to Sydney to explore the city easily. Both by car as per public transport.
We would absolutely recommend staying here and would happily exchange again. We can't wait to host you, Lourdes and Harry!
What a delightful family.
Our highlight of the exchange was receiving photos of Lourdes and Harry’s little one enjoying our garden and toy box!
Communication was easy and our home was left immaculate.
MWe have planned to do some more swaps in the future ♥️
Lourdes and her party were brilliant guests who left our home in a beautiful clean state, communication with Lourdes was excellent and prompt
We would welcome this party back any time and could absolutely recommend them as house guests.
We had such a wonderful stay at Elissa’s beautiful home in Canberra. It's a perfect reminder of how special the PLU community is.
As full-time working parents with a young child, we extended our simultaneous exchange into the weekdays and worked remotely, and her home made that so easy and enjoyable. It’s peaceful, surrounded by nature, yet still close to everything, with kangaroos just a short walk away!
We loved exploring Canberra (the hot air balloons, lake walks, and science museum were highlights), and coming back each day to a home that truly felt relaxing and welcoming. The outdoor setting, great sound system, and home theatre were all big hits.
Elissa was a fantastic host. She was warm, generous, responsive, and thoughtful throughout. Everything was smooth and easy.
We’re very grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend her home 💛
Feedback for Elissa·Simultaneous exchange·6 nights
Perfect guests who left our place clean and tidy as we left it. We would highly recommend Elissa and gang to any PLU hosts and wish them all the very best to their PLU journey.
Feedback for Sandy·Non-Reciprocal exchange·2 nights
What a privilege it was to stay at Sandy’s beautiful home in Berry. We’re so grateful for her generosity in sharing a house that is perfectly located right in the heart of town, yet tucked away on a quiet back street - peaceful, but still an easy stroll to all the lovely shops and cafés.
That said, we barely wanted to leave the house at all! It is incredibly comfortable, thoughtfully set up and simply a joy to be in. The bedrooms were cosy and welcoming, and the swimming pool and trampoline were absolute highlights - not just for our little one, but for the adults too! I honestly lost count of how many laughs we shared over the weekend.
Although it was just a short trip away from Sydney, it truly felt like a proper holiday. We came home feeling recharged and refreshed.
To top it all off, we happened to be there during the monthly Berry Sunday Market - one of my favourites. It feels much more local and less commercial than many markets in Sydney. For anyone planning a visit, I’d definitely recommend checking the market schedule.
Thank you, Sandy and family, for such a wonderful stay. We wish you all the very best and would absolutely love to exchange again in the future.
Feedback for Claerwen·Hospitality exchange·7 nights
A lovely experience staying with Claerwen and her family. They were kind and generous in sharing their home and offering warm hospitality. The home was comfortable, and the surrounding area was beautiful. Wishing them many happy exchanges through People Like Us.
Feedback for Isabel·Non-Simultaneous exchange·13 nights
It was an absolute pleasure hosting Belle, Dylan and their two lovely young boys and sharing our Sydney home with them over Christmas and New Year. As our very first home exchange, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin our journey.
Communication from start to finish was clear, timely, respectful and full of gratitude, and genuinely just enjoyable. It honestly felt like we’d known each other for a long time. They showed great care and respect for our home and were especially considerate knowing we were travelling overseas with our little girl, making things easy for us as hosts by being flexible, thoughtful and wonderfully self-sufficient.
The highlight came when we returned home — we almost didn’t recognise the place because it was cleaner and more organised than when we left it. On top of that, they generously spoiled us with souvenirs, gifts and a heartfelt thank-you note that truly warmed our hearts. It was a beautiful reminder that joining the People Like Us community has been one of the best decisions we made in 2025.
Thank you, Belle, Dylan and family, for being such wonderful guests and PLU friends. We can’t wait to stay at your home in Bali this June and experience your way of life there. For any future hosts, we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Lourdes
Hi! We’re Lourdes, Harry and our 2.5-year-old daughter
We’re a friendly, travel-loving family based in Sydney. We love good food, the ocean, the mountains (snowy or green), weekend markets and discovering local gems wherever we go. We’ve hosted through Airbnb and Couchsurfing for 10+ years, always with great reviews for being respectful and easy guests/hosts.
Our daughter isn’t in school yet, so we’re flexible with timing - especially keen on Christmas/New Year or longer stays throughout the year.
Looking forward to meaningful swaps and new adventures!
