Renewal Date: 22/Oct/2019
We are a laid-back gay couple in our fifties. I work in the computer/IT field and Mike does business development for luxury brands. No children or pets. We've both lived abroad, enjoy museums, theatre, hiking and discovering new music, wines or a good bourbon. We're also avid travelers and like to discover new places but have a fondness for Japan and Brazil.
Currently we're interested in an extended simultaneous exchange (1-2+ months) at the end of 2019 / early 2020. We'd prefer an urban location in west coast of US, Portugal (Lisbon, Porto), South Africa (Cape Town), Brazil (Rio, or ?), or elsewhere in South America. The property should be at least 2 bedroom of comparable condition.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our 3 floor townhouse was completely renovated three years ago. The well-proportioned rooms balance traditional elegance with the light and airy feel of modern living. The first floor, with its 11 foot ceilings, has large windows and a glass door which leads to the private terrace. An abundance of natural light floods the open living room, kitchen and dining room. Upstairs, the master suite includes a large bedroom with King bed, a walk-in closet, a marble bathroom with shower and a spacious sitting room/study with a large TV. The top floor offers two more well- proportioned bedrooms, a marble bathroom with shower/tub, and a laundry room. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third is configured as an office with standing desk and a comfortable queen size sofa bed. A skylight provides even more natural light. The private rear terrace has a gas BBQ grill and overlooks the idyllic backyard that is shared with the garden apartment below.
