Read More...The Fishers house in Irvine was a perfect base for enjoying all that Orange County and Los Angeles had on offer. On arrival Gerald and Ellie left us a concise set of notes that we used almost daily. Loads of “locals tips” to ensure local trips were hassle free. The house is very spacious, spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and perfectly located on a quiet cut-de-sac in an upscale neighbourhood. With numerous beach communities, MLB baseball, shopping malls, parks, cinemas and Disneyland nearby we were spoilt for things to do. We could have stayed much longer, very easily. Having only visited France/Belgium/Spain/Italy before our children, with no hesitation, said this was their favourite holiday. As far as they’re concerned the bar has been raised somewhat. We are a family of four with a 9 year old boy and a 13 year old daughter. A big thanks again to Gerald, Ellie and John for sharing their amazing home with us.

Read More...We could not fault any aspect of this exchange experience. Gerry and Ellie had everything organised to a level of detail which was amazing and really made our trip all the more enjoyable. I am now a big grenola and natural yoghurt with fresh fruit breakfast fan after experiencing Ellie's beautiful home made cooking. I cannot say enough about this exchange experience as it was so much better than expected and this really was down to Gerry and Ellie ensuring that nothing was left to chance. A big thank you from us and hope to meet you again some day. Barry, Marian and Sarah.

Read More...Irvine is a safe and friendly city close to everything you need and all that LA has to offer within an hour drive. We enjoyed different beaches close by. The Fishers were very easy and friendly to work with. It seems they thought of every little detail we needed to know and made great efforts to make us feel welcome. They even wrote the welcome dinner menu in Swedish! Since they are used to children, they also made our children feel very much welcome and everything our kids needed to amuse themselves with were accessible in their well-equipped home. Communication with them were easy and it was easy to negotiate all the details that needed to be cleared out. Their house is spacious and they prepared space for us to feel comfortable. Our house was immaculate on our return. Because we stayed in California for a longer time, we even had the great pleasure to meet with them as they invited us to their home for a wonderful lunch. We can truely recommend a stay in Irvine at the Fishers!

Read More...A big thank you to the Fisher family for a very successful stay in their lovely home. They hosted us for a couple of days before they set off for the UK and were very friendly and welcoming,and eager to share their home with us. Gerry liked to get arrangements in place in good time, which is always important to us when organising an exchange. I have no hesitation in recommending them to any future exchange partner.

Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
We have our summer 2020 exchange arranged. We are open to discussions about 2021.
Our family friendly home is located in quiet Irvine, CA. Irvine is master planned community with an exceptional number of parks and boulevards. We are 60 km southeast of Los Angeles. Our home is also close to Disneyland, beaches and the rest of Southern California. There is almost an unlimited number of activities within an hour drive. Irvine has been rated the safest city in the USA with a population over 250,00 eleven years in a row by the FBI.
Our 240 m sq home comfortably sleeps 7 in beds. More on couches or air mattresses. The master bedroom has an ensuite. There are three additional bedrooms with a shared bathroom, a living room with tuned piano, dining room, family room and an eat-in kitchen. The home includes modern appliances in the kitchen. The washer and dryer are the garage. (No need for a separate laundry room since it never freezes.) For entertainment there is a flat screen TV with surround sound, Netflix subscription, Blu-ray and DVD, WiFi, Wii game, and local phone. A portable crib, high chair and children's toys are available. (We love our grandkids.)
The sunny backyard has cushioned seating for 4, pleasant outdoor dining for 6 and a piped-in gas barbecue. The playhouse for children includes a slide, hammock and digging tools. Planted around the house are fruit trees, citrus trees, fuju, blueberries and grapes. Something may be ripe for eating during your visit.
We enjoy meeting other exchange families who happen to be traveling through Los Angeles. Please contact us if we can host you or if you want to stop by for dinner or are in need of assistance.
Thank you for checking out our home. We hope to hear from you soon.
