Been members of homelink.org and homexchange.com on and off over the last 11 years and have had 23 great swaps. We travel only to the United States and Europe as we cannot tolerate any more then 10 hours on a plane. I am in my 50's and Erwin is in his 60's. We are fairly active couple who love gardening and hiking. We love visiting cities that offer Museums and diverse architecture. We can only get away for 2 weeks at a time and prefer to travel in spring or fall.

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have a bright well laid out 1 bedroom flat.(750 sq feet/ 70 sm ).There are several large established trees that encourage bird life to come visit us on a regular basis. They also gives us a fair bit of privacy in a busy city.
Please note we are on the 3rd floor of a 3 FLOOR WALK UP. No elevator. (circa 1950 building). The flat faces northwest so you look at the mountains, West Vancouver and the down town from the living room.
NO PET CARE NEEDED. We have 3 free flying budgies who go visit their friends at a local bird sanctuary while we are away. We would be delighted to take care of your dog or cat during our stay . We have successfully done so in the past.
The flat can accommodate 3 persons since we have an ottoman-bed(BoConcept) that can be set up in the living room for 1 person. . https://www.boconcept.com/en-us/xtra/552006030313001.html?cgid=sofas-footstools#
We have a compact Mercedes SUV for your use while here. Ideally it is useful to visit Whistler .
