The house is one level, with easy 2 steps to the entrance for both front and back door.

If this sounds like a comfortable place that you would like to enjoy and experience, send us a message and let's connect! We are mostly interested in reciprocal exchanges with a similar family who could work\school remotely while experiencing life in this amazing city and surrounding areas, or just with anyone else who would tempt us with their wonderful home. We are also offering our house for Globe exchange during some dates; those travel dates are stated somewhere in the profile. We are all avid skiers so our dream exchange would be a place in Canada, Colorado or other ski destinations for part of the ski season, while the other family would stay at our place in sunny SoCal. We are dog lovers and our place is pet friendly, with hardwood floors, doggie door, fully fenced backyard, comfy pet beds around the house. We don't use any chemicals inside or outside the house, that could harm the pets. Sometimes we will also travel with our Golden Retriever on shorter trips, and looking for dog friendly exchanges, but this is not a "must" requirement. We do not allow smoking in the house, but have nothing against it if you wish to smoke outside on the back deck.
