We are an active couple, plus our daughter, her fiance', and grandma looking for a place in central Copenhagen over Christmas to meet the fiance's family prior to the wedding. We have two potential home shares, one is our primary home close to Seattle (view of Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains) and the other a beach house about 1.25 hours from Seattle. I lived in Copenhagen for a year in 1987 and speak some Danish. Our family are active travelers and also responsible and conscientious lodgers. We have not home-shared before but we would like the opportunity to stay in a home in Copenhagen to help everyone, especially Grandma, feel more comfortable. We will be spending a lot of time at our extended families' homes while we are there. The main family homes are in Osterport and also Sudhavn. We are confident you would find either of our homes very comfortable and lovely.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our home is perfectly situated to enjoy a diversity of experiences. Walk down the hill from our house, past the bowling alley and several neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops, and end up at Richmond Beach Park. You can walk along the bluff and enjoy the expansive water and mountain views, or walk down to the beach and dip your toe in the surf. If you walk up the hill you can get to the Starbucks, large grocery store, drug store, local bakery, nail salons, and several restaurants all in about 5 minutes. Edmonds is a ten-minute drive away and offers a charming seaside community with a ferry landing, beach parks, small shops and local restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Downtown Seattle is about 20 minutes drive, depending on traffic. There is a nearby bus-line that takes you to a major shopping mall where you can transfer to the downtown express bus-line or the University of Washington bus-line.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It's important to us that you enjoy our home to the fullest, but respect our property by leaving the home tidy and clean. We encourage you to use anything you find that you have a need for, but to replace any items that you have used up. We also ask you to respect our quiet neighborhood and our basement renters. Absolutely no smoking or pets.
