Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

**2024 PLANS**
We have finalized a home exchange in Copenhagen and are seeking a home exchange in London from August 12-20ish, either simultaneous or non-simultaneous.

Our home will be available for 1-2 week non-simultaneous exchange in April, June/July, and October.

We are also interested in 2-3 night home exchanges within a 4 hour drive of San Francisco.

**2025 Plans**
Seeking a home exchange in Italy, France, and/or Spain. Prefer spring or fall versus peak summer. Make us an offer!

**HAPPY TRAVELS!**

We live in a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment on the third floor of a small residential building on beautiful palm-tree-lined Dolores Street. The apartment features a fully equipped kitchen with updated appliances, an open layout living/dining area with large windows, and a bathroom with shower over tub. There are shared washers and dryers on the ground floor of the building. The bedroom is set up with a crib/cot suitable for infant or toddler, as well as a large pull-out chair suitable for a single adult or child. The main living area contains a queen-sized wall/murphy bed, which is very comfortable and so easy to put up and down—you don't need to remove any bedding, not even pillows! We also have a pull-out sofa that can sleep an additional two guests. There is a light-blocking curtain that can be used to separate the wall bed and sofa bed zones for privacy.

The set-up is perfect for a family with small children, but the many sleeping options let it work well for a couple, a family with older kids, or even a small group of friends. (Sleeps up to five, not counting the crib.) If you are traveling with little ones, we can set up the space front of the wall bed cabinet as a play area; otherwise we will pack away all our child's things, so you will encounter no kid clutter.

Our home is ideally located between the Mission and Noe Valley neighborhoods, and an easy walk to the Castro or Bernal Heights. Or hop on the BART train at 24th Street Station (10 min walk) or the J-Church MUNI tram (5 min walk) and be downtown in minutes. We love where we live, and we think you will, too!

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our neighborhood is blessed with the best weather in the city—you may experience early morning fog depending on the time of year, but blue skies are the norm here. Walk north, just over the hill to Dolores Park, a gorgeously landscaped public space spanning two city-blocks, encompassing sports facilities, a phenomenal children's playground, and acres of rolling grassy fields perfect for picnicking and people-watching. Continue northwest past the park and you'll find yourself in the Castro, SF's historically gay neighborhood, complete with rainbow crosswalks. A five minute walk east of our home will find you on Valencia Street, a ten-block pedestrian-friendly stretch of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, independent bookstores and boutiques—a shopper's paradise! If you walk up the hill to the south and swing a right, you'll be in Noe Valley, a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood with a well-stocked wine shop, a Saturday farmer's market, and a full-service grocery store. A slightly longer walk southwest of where we live takes you to Bernal Heights, a cozy, quiet neighborhood ringing a hilltop park with some of the best views in the city.

We don't own a car, and we think you'll find you don't need one (except for day trips up and down the coast). It's easy to get around the city on buses, trams, and trains, and if you prefer to use ridesharing, it's never more than a few minutes' wait for a Lyft or Uber.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We have a very friendly cat named Lovegood. She is relatively low maintenance, but she does need to be fed twice a day and have her litter box scooped a few times a week. She enjoys being around people and will probably want to sit on your lap when you're relaxing on the couch. We love animals and will be happy to take good care of your pets in exchange for you looking after ours.

Also, we ask that you please respect our neighbors by keeping noise down after 10pm.
