Read More...We absolutely loved staying at Harry and Jenny's apartment. The apartment was immaculate and very luxurious. we all enjoyed the infinity pool and fitness suite which were never too busy and often we had the pool to ourselves. Kuala Lumpur is an amazing destination, very vibrant with delicious cuisine at frankly ridiculously low prices. Transport is easy and very affordable. The people are very friendly too. We had a fabulous time here and made new friends with our lovely exchange partners.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our apartment is brand new within a boutique Condominium development. In Malaysia "condominium" is the term for apartment developments with full recreation facilities , ours include landscaped gardens with fish ponds, swimming pools, Gym, BBQs, Squash Court, Yoga room, children playground, Gazebos
Our 10th Floor 1500sq.ft. apartment is fully equipped with all the modern conveniences.
We use the Petaling Jaya apartment as our base for our international travel, Verde Residences are "Hotel Inspired" so this home is designed and decorated as a large hotel suite with all the home comforts.
For European exchangers with exchanges in the Americas and vice versa Kuala Lumpur's strategic location is perfect as a stop over or base to any other Asian destinations. Such as the Wonderful temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, India & many other destinations as many of our exchangers have discovered - flying with Air Asia (www.airasia.com) for the price of the taxi to the airport in Europe, Nth America, NZ or Australia.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
One of the most vibrant and "in" urban living areas of Petaling Jaya.
The apartment is very conveniently located close to large shopping complexes. 1km away is our "local" Tesco Supermarket, within a 5 km radius are:
1.. One Utama - CNN says it is 4th Largest shopping mall in the world and at One Utama is a Five Star coach station, you can bus on "business class" seats to Singapore and Penang for RM70 or less than USD25.
2.. the "Curve" shopping complex both have with cinemas - and many others but these 2 will keep you busy for at least a week!
3..the SS2 commercial area which has a huge traditional wet market which is an experience on its own and of course the many many restaurants and food hawker stalls serving food which are simply amazing
You still have yet to got to Kuala Lumpur (13kms, RM25 or less than a USD5 taxi ride) to see the bright shining Petronas Twin Towers - a set in Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones' action movie "Entrapment".

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We expect our exchanges to clean our apartment on their departure as they would like their house cleaned after an exchange has been and left.
This is especially important for us as there will be exchanges arriving after their stay whilst we will be away overseas so unable to follow up.
In saying this, I hasten to add that after many exchanges we have yet to have a home linker who did not leave the apartment as clean as they found it.
As a part of our due dilligence when finalising an exchange agreement we will exchange with the other party a copy of passports & a reference from a previous exchange to give each other peace of mind that you will not get an exchange from hell.
The apartment is not children friendly especially having a balcony which can be easily climbed/scaled so a present & constant danger, hence no children in our apartment please.
We will courier keys to our exchanges & the exchanger will courier them back to us which solves a lot of logistics & stress for both.
