I am offering a retreat for a writer on board my 32 foot sailboat, which is located in western Greece. Wonderful views, great walks, ancient ruins nearby, quiet, yet not too far from town. Bring your car or rent one and venture inland. Share my home on the water and let's finish that novel this winter!

Can anyone recommend an apt swap site I can trust?

Hi,

I'm looking to swap my 1BR Manhattan apt for another similar apt anywhere in the world. There are so many sites but many of them are for larger homes which doesn't apply to me. In addition, most charge a $50 or $75 fee which is not a big deal but I don't want to join one only to find out it's useless.

Have any of you had success w/ any of these sites?

Thanks so much,

Seth

Swap my San Francisco apt for Buenos Aires apt or somewhere else exotic

Large, stylish, convenient and perfectly located. Close to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation, centrally located and close to the two most vibrant neighborhoods in SF: The Mission and The Castro. I want to swap my apartment for yours for 7-10 days some time in 2010 somewhere exotic and not in Europe. Buenos Aires is first choice, but anywhere in South America, Africa, Middle East or Asia sounds good!

SWAP 2 BEACH HOUSES IN AUSTRALIA FOR FRANCE, ITALY, etc

Hi All,

Having just successfully arranged a house swap through this Branch, I thought that we might try again!

My wife and I (who are in our early 60's and both retired) will be travelling to Europe after Easter next year (2010) for approx. 6 months, with another couple of friends of similar age and we would be keen to do a house swap with any interested parties.

Our houses would be ideal for anybody who is looking for warm weather and beachfront accommodation as they are both located in absolute beachfront locations (step out our front door onto a beautiful beach).

The first one is a 2 storey modern property (sleeps 6 people) on the beautiful Indian Ocean in Western Australia, about 1 hour north of Perth.

The second one is on the Queensland coast (about 1 hour south of the beautiful Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef).
It is a "bungalow style" house that sleep... more »
