Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are negotiable and happy to discuss what will make this a great stay for you and us. Sometimes we'd it if you could water our garden please and this is negotiable. Upon return we would prefer it if we could have a cleaner to clean up. We could do a good tidy up and then have the cleaner do the full clean up as we work full time. We would prefer that you don't smoke in the house. We would like it if you respect our privacy for the 1 locked valuables area.
