“Yvette and James were incredibly easy to exchange with; we did a non-simultaneous exchange and went to their property in a beautiful part of the Isle of Wight last August. It's easy to bring a car over on the ferry (we did Southampton to East Cowes) and then went over the chain ferry which reduces your journey time. West Cowes has lots of character as a pretty coastal town and the restaurant choice is fantastic. The island is great for cycling and we went along one of the tracks to the southern side and lay on the beach. We also did a lovely walk from Yarmouth to Fresh Water Bay with my Dad (who came over on the passenger ferry from Lymington). We had a quick look at the Needles and a lot had changed since I last saw it as a child. You can still buy the pretty sand though! Yvette and James' property is fantastic and has amazing views over the Solent. It was immaculate and well kitted out and very comfortable although we only used it as a base as the Isle of Wight itself has so much to offer. I'd thoroughly recommend exchanging with this lovely couple; I didn't realise we were their first exchange because it was done so helpfully and smoothly. ”

Gíslína V. 's reviews
As a host (2)“Our part of the exchange was very rewarding: the apartment is really comfortable and well-equipped, the location excellent, the house and garden well-kept. All the neigbors were really friendly. And being able to see the sea traffic from the balcony was wonderful. We met Yvette and James on our arrival and they were really helpful by helping us with the luggage and explaining the apartment to us. Emails were sent back and forth promptly and thus we had a great stay. I hope that they will enjoy Freiburg as much as we did the Isle of Wight.”
