Hello! We are Joe and Mike and we are new to Homelink. We were recommended by a colleague who said it was an excellent way to holiday. We are expecting our first child in May and are looking to holiday in July or August for a week or 2. We both live and work in central London. We have lived in our house for nearly 3 years and love it.
A bit about Mike: I’m 35 years old, love reading, films, getting outdoors (especially swimming - swam the English Channel once, in a team - cold!), LOVE board games, and hanging out with friends. I am training to be a primary school teacher, also training to volunteer as a Samaritan and love writing short stories, and who knows, one day a longer story if I find the time.
A bit about Joe: I’m 33, love living in London and enjoying all this great city has to offer. I like to keep fit and would say I’m relatively sporty - I’ve run marathons, sailed for Great Britain and love the outdoors – walking, cycling and snowboarding to name a few. I currently work in Media for Transport for London which I really enjoy, I like working for organisations that have a positive social impact and love being about to go around the city and see my projects (e.g. the bike scheme) being used.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
3 bed end of terrace house in East London, UK. We have a large open double lounge, kitchen and a dining room with bi-fold doors that open out onto our sunny garden, perfect for a summer BBQ. We also have a utility room with a washer and a dryer, plus a garage (for storage not cars) and driveway if parking is needed.
We have 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (1 bath, 2 showers, 3 toilets). One room is a kids room with cot but we can keep this up or dismantle this if needed.
We are right by Leyton tube - Central London takes 25 minutes by tube. We are also 5 minutes to Stratford where there are multiple tube, national rail and bus routes.
The local area is changing all the time. We are a short walk or bike ride away from the Olympic Park (with the olympic pool and velodrome!), Westfield shopping centre (with cinema) and the very trendy Hackney Wick.
There is a high street in Leyton with local pubs, shops and food market. There are good places to eat and drink and we really love it. We feel very safe in the area and have never had any trouble although some people could find it intimidating if you're not used to city life. The area is very diverse and feels very urban. We are very close to the tube so the area can feel quite busy sometimes with lots of people on the street on their way to the tube.
We have bikes if you need to borrow. Free to use Wi-Fi, TV, Sonos system.
Shout if you have any questions. We look forward to home swapping!
