Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have a two-in-one home with a fully self-contained apartment upstairs and a family home downstairs.
The upstairs apartment is only two years old and is perfect for a single person, couple or, in combination with the family home downstairs, a family. The apartment is light and airy with one double bedroom (with ensuite), study, living room, open plan kitchen/dining, laundry, and front and rear balconies.
The downstairs home has three double bedrooms, study, bathroom, laundry, and a large kitchen/dining/family area which opens onto a Mediterranean-style terrace and private back garden.
The apartment and family home are connected through a lockable interior door and are available for swap as a whole or separately.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
As home owners we know how important it is to have our house well cared for. We are committed to taking good care of our house swap homes and expect that whoever comes to our home will do the same. It is important for us to come home to a clean and tidy house.
Our garden is also easy care, and although it is on automatic reticulation, may need some hand watering when the weather is very hot.
We don’t wear shoes in the upstairs apartment because even with the best insulation sound travels.
