Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home sits on a large lot surrounded by foliage, a natural, drought-resistant garden, on a quiet cul-du-sac with friendly families and children of all ages. The beaches in our north coast area are some of the finest surfing and swimming
beaches in Southern California, and our home is about a ten-minute walk to the nearest beach. The music room and study may be accommodated for sleeping rooms if necessary.
San Diego has alluring tourist attractions such as the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park; Legoland (very near our home); Sea World; Balboa Park; Torrey Pines Reserve; Cultural attractions such as the Old Globe Theatre; La Jolla Playhouse; San Diego Repertory Theatre; Moonlight Amphitheatre Summer Theatre (Vista); Summerfest Musical Festival (La Jolla); and others.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is extremely friendly, with special festivities at Halloween, Chrisjtmas, the Fourth of July, cappaccino parties involving the surrounding streets. We are close to the beach, about a ten-minute walk from our house. Since we are on a cul-de-sac, it is very quiet and peaceful. Most of the people who live in this area share the same aesthetic of quiet and love of nature.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We'd love to trade with a couple or small family who would enjoy living in our peaceful, garden environment. We'd also welcome any musicians, as we have a Steinway piano and a music studio at one's disposal.
