Meet for a drink/coffee to share ideas for the area, meet on my porch.
Nancy and Tom's home is very peaceful and in a great location by the Niagara River and only minutes from the famous Niagara Falls and the town of Buffalo NY. Nancy and Tom were very helpful hosts who provided us with lots of brochures and information on places that my children might be interested in. Highly recommend staying with them if you want to visit the Niagara Falls area.
Tom and Nancy left our house in the same condition they found it. I also really appreciated that they take great care of our rabbit and our plants.
We spent 4 nights in Celines beautiful home in Montreal. It was our first exchange and wonderful experience!. Celines home is very spacious, immaculate and has everything you could need for cooking and relaxing. She was very helpful with ideas of where to go and what to see. Located in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. A two mile drive got us to the metro which we used for our entire stay. I would highly recommend a stay at Celine's lovely home in Montreal. In addition to a great exchange, I feel like I made a new friend!
Celine left our house immaculate as well as watered our plants both inside and out. We communicated easily and enjoyed sharing each others adventures as they unfolded. I truly feel I have a new friend . I felt the PLU magic!
