Description of the home we are offering for exchange
*** We'll consider options for 2019 to Melbourne or Bay Area *** Our Large, 4 Bed Family home is in our favourite part of Hackney, right next to Clapton Pond. The house is spacious (for London) and is over 1,100 sq feet and is set over 3 floors. We are around a 20 min walk + public transport ride into the middle of the City of London and an additional 15 mins to the West End and all of London's attractions.
The kitchen, dining and living room is on the ground floor and overlooks our large shared backyard. The second floor has the main bedroom, with ensuite, main bathroom and a second bedroom. The top floor has vaulted ceilings and has a study, another double bedroom and the 4th bedroom.
It is a very cozy and warm house during winter and is bright and airy during summer. We have recently finished decorating our home and it will easily house a large family.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
There are some fantastic street markets. parks and things to do nearby within a 5 - 10 min walk. Chatsworth Road Market is closest with Broadway Market around 10 mins walk away. We spend most weekends at Broadway market - such is the character and variety of food and entertainment. London Fields, at the top of Broadway Market, is one of the best parks in the Capital is a 10 min walk away. In addition, there are some extremely tasty restaurants nearby or within a short walking distance.
For those wanting to see the traditional London sights, we are located a 7 min walk from the closest overground train which takes 10 mins to get into the middle of the City of London (Liverpool Street), another 20 mins will have you in the heart of the West End.
We also have a car available for those wanting to explore the countryside and take in some of the sights and perhaps an incredibly tasty country pub or two within an easy hours drive.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We'll look after your home as it was our own, so we'll ask that you do the same. We are new to the House Exchanging, however have spent many trips staying in Private residences and are very familiar with the level of respect and trust required when staying in someone else's home - and our children are the same.
We are travelling to the Bay area to see family in Petaluma for the month of Sep 2016, so are looking for a place where we can base ourselves.
