Heidi and Richard have a lovely and spacious home. It has all you need for a great vacation. Their home is exceptionally clean and decorated with style. Our girls loved the games, toys and the hot tub, and the movie theater was just fab!
Their home has great views and is very well located. Close by there are shops and restaurants and a train station (easy access to Oslo center). We also loved the trails in the woods nearby. The highway is close by and easy to access.
Heidi was truly lovely and made sure we have everything we need for a great stay. I highly recommend exchanging with them!
Heidi, Richard, Felix and Colin were great guests to have stay in my home. It was nice that our boys got to do some activities together and we all got a chance to share some meals together and just hang out and make new friends. Heidi was very kind to gift me and my Mum some lovely bracelets from her jewellery collection. They left our house very clean so I didn’t have much to do at all on our return. Myself and my boys are very excited to take our next trip to visit them in Norway and maybe experience some real snow!!
Thank you Sarah! 🥰 See you again soon! Love from Norway!
Heidi Elvira and family were absolutely lovely! I had the fortune of meeting them before i went off to France. They really looked after my house - when it Unfortunately poured Down with rain, they made sure to take in all cushions etc for my Outdoor furniture, they took Great care of my cat Leo and watered my plants. Ever so grateful for their help 🥰

Heidi and Richard were great guests. They took good care of our home and our car. They are always welcome back at our home!
We had a great time at Sarah's house. They are a lovely and welcoming family! ❤️The boys had so much fun together!
We went to a cool festival in a beautiful park nearby and got to experience some real Irish music!😍 The house was super tidy and clean and Sarah had even bought us breakfast, fruit and drinks!
We went to a huge beautiful beach nearby. It was cheap to rent a car from Budget so we could get around. We ate so much delicious food and had a really good time.
Anyone would be lucky to do a houseswap with this family! We cant wait for them to come to Norway next year! 🇧🇻
Thanks Heidi - and we can’t wait to visit either. Now it will feel like old friends! Boys are planning snowball fights already 🤣 xx
Lisa has a beautiful and spacious home with everything you need. The house was tidy and clean and had a nice garden and a lovely conservatory where we had breakfast every morning. There is a really nice beach close by and the kids enjoyed some crab fishing. The best pizza ever is just a 2 min walk from the house!! We were lucky to meet both Lisa and her lovely daughter. They were both really sweet and helpful. We fell in love with Leo the cat!❤️ Thank you so much for a great vacation Lisa! I hope to see you again some day!

The house was just incredible. Very modern and stylish. It contained everything we needed to have a great vacation! The garden was huge and even had an obsticle course and a zipline for the kids! It was only a short drive to Tallin and all the things that we wanted to do/see.
We were really pleased with this house and will definitely recommend it to others.
Agnes and Ivar are friendly, conciderate and caring people. We got to meet them at the airport and we wish we could have had more time to chat🙂 The house looked amazing when we got back, even though they were not suppose to clean it. They even left us Estonian chocolate and flowers❤️ This was our first homeexchange and we were very pleased with the way it turned out. We could not have asked for a better family to swap with!
