Su casa venia bien reflejada en el anuncio pero visitarla y vivir en ella fue una experiencia que no me importaria repetir el lugar, las vistas la comodidad de la casa son estupendas. hasta ahora es ekl mejor intercambio que he realizado y eso que los anteriores también han sido muy buenos
Super échange dans un site magnifique avec un couple attentif et très accueillant avec lequel nous avons beaucoup correspondu.
La maison de Bill et Paula est magique. La vue depuis les baies vitrées ou la pergola sur l'océan est une pure merveille, une carte postale. La maison est très confortable, très propre. Ils nous avaient laissé tout ce qu'il faut pour notre arrivée et pour découvrir la région. Une région très belle : océan, montagnes, lacs, sous une météo bien Irlandaise. Et dans le village un super resto. Un des plus beaux échanges que nous ayons réalisé.
