Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We are respectful and mindful of homes we exchange with and expect the same in return. We expect to have our home left in a clean and tidy manner as will we with our exchange partners. Depending on the length of the stay we appreciate a watering of a few houseplants and garden. We would have our neighbours help with any outdoor plants, unless you want to water of course :) In the summer we have vegetable and flower gardens available to you.
