We had a wonderful stay at Greg and Bridgets home. It's a typical house for London in a cul-de-sac with suberb walkability. Bus stops are 2 minutes away and the commute to the city is easy.
Greg and Bridget are great communicaters and left a lot of information about restaurants and things to do. Their home was clean, equipped with everything we needed and provided more than enough space for our family.
We loved staying in Greg and Bridget's London home! It was convenient to everything. The Sheen/Richmond neighborhood is perfect for walkability and access to dining, the rail system, and fun activities! Their home is "Americanized" so it includes a washer AND dryer! It was well stocked with what we needed. They were both excellent communicators in the exchange process so we got all our questions answered quickly! Thank you both so much for allowing us the privilege of staying in your home.
We enjoyed an incredible week in London at Greg and Bridget's lovely home. Located in SW London, their place is an easy train/bus ride into central London. We particularly liked the short walk through a cemetery on the way to the train - saw flocks of parakeets and one day a fox! The neighborhood has loads of options for eating out and groceries nearby as well. Close the Kew Gardens - a must see. We walked there one sunny morning, but after spending close to 5 hours exploring the expansive grounds (and getting a mini concert listening to the Gypsy Kings warming up for their performance later that night) we decided to Uber home. The house itself is clean, spacious and comfortable. Two living room areas are a bonus - especially nice if you have a larger group. Well equipped kitchen. Best of all is the garden space in the back - such a treat to have a private outdoor area. Communication with Greg was terrific. He provided an extensive information packet with helpful suggestions regarding the house and restaurants recommendations. We look forward to hosting Greg and Bridget at our home at the Oregon coast and hope we might return to their home in London in the future.
While we stayed at their home Bridget and Greg visited our home in Germany. They were awesome guests, left our home clean and tidy. They communicated in a great way. They took great care of our home and we can highly recommend exchanging with them.
We were so pleased to get to meet Greg and Bridget for lunch at the beginning of their stay at our Portland home. After many months of communication via email it was great to get to know each other a bit more in person. They took great care of our home. Ideal guests! We'd be happy to welcome them back in the future.
Greg & Bridget were excellent guests in our home. They treated our home as if it were theirs, and this is always appreciated! It was also lovely to meet them in Portland after their stay and before our stay in their London home!
They were good guests and left the house in fine condition. Communications went smooth. I would recommend for future exchanges.
We had an enjoyable exchange in Adelsheim. The house was quite comfortable and clean. We enjoyed sitting out on the pool veranda with the view of their pond and hills in background. Dagmar and Mirko were easy to communicate with, and they provided a very complete Google map link with sights to see, restaurants and amenities in the area. I would highly recommend this home for exchange.

Judy and Larry are wonderful exchangers! They treated our home as if it were theirs, and acclimatised quickly to the neighbourhood. Communication was great and they didn’t have any troubles with the home or getting around London. A very successful exchange.
We had a lovely exchange at Nancy and Brock’s Portland home. The house is in a very nice neighborhood, walking distance to some fabulous restaurants and pubs. The streetcar system is just a few blocks away too. We never had to use our car other than going to Mt. Hood for a day of skiing. Their house is quite comfortable and complete. Thank you for a wonderful and successful exchange.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Judy and Larry's Oregon Coast home. The house is beautiful, well equipped and the view is outstanding. Judy is a great communicator and provided all the details needed for a comfortable exchange. We highly recommend this home for exchanging.
We are glad Nancy and friends enjoyed their time at our London home. Communicating with Nancy was easy and friendly. I would highly recommend them for other exchanges.
