Pat and Ernies home is very really beautiful and we had a very warm welcome when we met in Los Angeles. Already before there was a lively exchange about the local leisure activities. They are very friendly and the contact also during the exchange was always very open, nice and humorous. In her house we felt very comfortable and the surrounding is wonderful: beaches, mountains, nature, lovely restaurants with delicious food and ice-cream. We also found a lot of information about what recreational opportunities there was in the immediate and wider area. Thanks again for your warm welcome and for giving us the opportunity to change our home with yours. It was really great! We are looking forward to meet you again.

We had a great time at Pat and Ernie's place, very relaxing and lots of things to do in Santa Barbara. We loved to stay at their pool and ride the bikes to the beach. It was very nice that we were able to meet them the last day before we left for Santa Barbara and at the end of our stay, so we were able to exchange our stories. We almost felt like residents when we left. It was a pleasure, everything worked out perfectly.
