Beskrivning av hemmet vi erbjuda att byta bort
Our Victorian-era house is in a quiet neighborhood just 12 blocks south of the campus of University of California Berkeley. With four cohousing families who live nearby, we share a yard of flower and vegetable gardens and a central piazza perfect for sitting in the sun with a good book.
We are two adults, one retired and one working for a non-profit legal service organization. Our thirty-something son and daughter live in the Bay Area and Brooklyn, respectively, and may sometimes join us for part of an exchange. We all love to read, hike, eat, shop, travel, see new places and meet new people, and have been successfully exchanging since 2005.
For several of our previous exchanges, we have traveled a day or two early to be able to meet and share a meal with our exchange family, which we have found leads to a wonderful cultural interchange and connection.
We are open to weekend/holiday offers in and around California, as well as longer domestic/international exchanges.
For car exchange, we offer our hybrid-electric Prius Prime that seats 5. Our home is walking distance to BART & bus lines, groceries, restaurants, parks and hiking trails.

Beskrivning av vårt grannskap och omgivning
In easy walking distance are the shopping areas of Telegraph Avenue, College Avenue, and downtown Berkeley, with many outdoor activities, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, clothing stores, theaters, and bookstores.
We are a 3 minute drive (or 10 minute walk) from a BART station where you can catch a train into Oakland (10 minutes) or San Francisco (20 minutes). Three organic grocery stores are within a five block radius. The beaches of Santa Cruz, the wine country of Napa Valley, the redwoods of Muir Woods, and the majestic mountains of Yosemite National Park are all within easy driving distance.

Våra tips om platser att gå och saker att göra när du bor i vårt hem
So much to do in Berkeley & Oakland, around the Bay Area, and throughout Northern California! You can start your day at the tide pools of Point Reyes, be walking through the vineyards of Napa by early afternoon, and watch the sunset from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

Vad vi gillar, vad vi inte gillar ... Här är våra preferenser och husregler.
Flexible travel dates. We prefer 3-4 weeks for international exchanges. Our favorite exchange destinations are big cities or beaches.
We will take good care of your home, and expect you to do the same in our home.
