Er waren vlotte en aangename contacten. Ze waren behulpzaam. Het huis voldeed aan de verwachtingen.
Guillaume and Virginie were very nice and accommodating. Their home was clean and comfortable. We spoke a number of times leading up to the exchange, and they made sure to have everything we would need on hand. They even put in an extra effort to arrange a tour for us and plan an evening dining with their friends. The family took great care of our home and left everything as it should be.
We had an excellent home swap with Jennifer and Bradley. Their house is lovely and the aera is quiet and very pleasant. It is well located between two great lakes and at a reasonable distance from Toronto and Niagara falls. We had excellent video chat to prepare our stay and they helped us to get gears for children thanks to their relatives. We met their familly which brings more autenticity in this exchange. We also organized a diner for them with french friends in the same way. We definitely recommand a home swap with them.
Prettig contact. Veel contact via Whatsapp, ook videobellen. Hun huis was schoon en gastvrij, met handdoeken, beddengoed en eten voor een eerste dag. Hun huis is juist weergegeven.
