Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
We would like exchanges outwith school holidays if possible.
As we are active and like hiking, cycling, diving, swimming, golf etc. we prefer areas like the ocean, mountains, lakes and countryside and would prefer to be close to areas that could offer this such as the Alps, Pyrenees, Provence, Dolomites,North coast of Spain, West coast of Portugal or the island of Madeira. We would consider exchanges to other parts of the world also and would consider Weekend exchanges in the UK or within easy flying /ferry distance.
We would like to exchange like for like properties and possibly a car exchange also. We also prefer non-smokers and no children or pets.
Our home is a comfortable spacious, south facing two floored detached house in a quiet residential no-through road of nine houses.
There are 2 sitting rooms, 2 main bedrooms (1 king, 1 double), study, dining room, kitchen/family room, 2 bathrooms. Gardens to side, front, rear.
Although not directly in the city centre there are excellent public transport services 2 minutes walk from our home including the Airport 100 bus service. Journey time into the city centre takes 10 minutes by bus/car and it is 15 minutes by bus/car to the airport. (If you are fit and active types you can easily walk to Haymarket within 25 minutes or less).

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
From our house you are close to the ice rink, centre of the city, the zoo, local hotels with bars and restaurants, rugby stadium, park and river walks. We live in a very quiet cul-de-sac with only a total of 9 houses yet we are only 10 minutes from the centre of the city which is very easy to get to from our home as public transport (bus or tram) is very close by and frequent. We are also only 12 minutes by car/bus from Edinburgh airport and the M8 and M9 motorways.

Lo qué nos gusta y lo qué no... Estas son nuestras preferencias y normas domésticas.
Please note that we are only set up with 2 bedrooms. One with a king bed, the second with a double bed.
We do not allow smoking in our home and would kindly ask exchangers to respect this.
We leave our home and garden clean and tidy and would ask fellow exchangers to leave our home as they found it. (Over 20 years this has always been the case).
