Home Exchange Testimonials

"We have exchanged our place with three families so far and been very happy with the arrangement. It is the best way to see another city/country and I would recommend this site highly. It adds a personal touch that is missing in package holidays, and makes even the most faraway destinations affordable."
Mary Felfe, Sydney (Australia)

"We have met a fantastic couple in Punta del Este through this great home exchange website"
Olivia Coppini, Buenos Aires (Argentina)

"We live in Denver and took our nine year old son to Disneyland Paris. We had rented homes in France in previous years, but found the exchange rate to be prohibitive.

We would like to thank you for providing a brilliant service. We have just returned from Paris (our first visit) and with many thanks to you, we thoroughly enjoyed it. You provided us the contacts to Bernard and Marie Francoise who own a luxurious apartment in the center of Paris. They were extremely hospitable - even allowing our two friends to stay. They greeted us at the door with a wonderful bottle of Red, guide books, maps and left the fridge full of food. Thank you again, we will certainly be recommending your service, to all whom we come in contact with. Nicole and Peter

We spent Christmas 2002 in the apartment of a home exchange member in Barcelona. Making the arrangements went very smoothly and we greatly enjoyed our stay there. Looking forward to another exchange in a different city or country some time this year. Louise – D

We just returned from our first house exchange and are pleased to say that everything went smoothly. We live on the Cote d'Azur but have family back in Canada. We wanted to celebrate Christmas in Montreal. We were very fortunate to find a great exchange family. We overlapped a few days, but that was fine and was an opportunity to meet our exchanges and show them the ropes of the various appliances, and the way around the neighborhood. Not only that, but the exchange family's parents picked us up AND brought us back to the airport when we travelled. It really was nice. All in all, we returned to find our car and our home in perfect shape. I would definitely do another exchange. Ian, V

"We were approached by an American family who wanted to exchange with us. We saw that they had a 14 year old son, the same age as ours, so we asked if they would be interested in having the sons visit each other, in order to learn the languages. It's been wonderful!" Marie from Belgium

Hi! I gave my Home sweet home in Rome to some people of San Francisco but I have never seen them if not on a photograph! I was out of town and couldn't do a "real time exchange", so I gave my home keys to a neighbour and followed all their passages from the airport to my.
Home on my mobile phone! It is a great way to allow people to do a good holiday ..and now, here comes my turn, next month !I will be their guest together with my husband. Enjoy home exchange!! Joseph, S

Hello to everybody. I just came back from my exchange in New York - ad it has bee so great. I am going to study art there and I had a good and very cheap possibility to get to know The Big Apple a little. I had a boy staying in my apartment in Paris - we even met each other on the last day. I can say to everybody that an exchange is a great idea. Mark, D

I made arrangement to exchange my flat here i San Francisco with a flat in Italy this summer. I think it's a great opportunity - both from an economic point of view and having the possibility to stay in a private home. I shall return with a testimonial after I made the exchange. Caroline and Trevor
