Flat on the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, US with a view of Mount Hood and Mount St Helens
Our home is a flat on the 27th floor of an apartment tower built in 2008. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and sleeps four. We are located on the Willamette River, 1 km south of downtown Portland. A streetcar line runs by our building, with light rail and bus lines accessible by the streetcar, or less than a 10 minute walk.
We are open to simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchanges of one to two weeks, with or without car exchanges. A car is not needed unless you travel outside the city, in which case you can rent a car nearby rather than at the airport and save on airport fees. There are walking paths along the river, just a few meters from our home.
Oregon is a great place - for its ocean beaches, mountains, and forests, as well as the wineries and microbreweries around the state. For information about Portland and the surrounding region, see

CA1001179Peter and Alison Faid are a really nice, reliable couple (we had the pleasure of meeting them). They are superb house-guests, leaving our home immaculate and the plants well watered.
Their spacious, modern house is beautiful and very comfortable. They live in a lovely part of Edmonton overlooking a wooded area. Sitting on their balcony overlooking this - surrounded by flowers, with birds passing by - was an unforgettable experience.
This was one of the best house exchanges we've done!

CA1331Scott and Holli were amazing! We had reached out to each other a couple years before we actually did the exchange. Their home and vehicle were perfect and as shown. They left our home and vehicle in great shape. It was one of our best exchange experiences.
