Our family had a great experience with our exchange to Cork. The exchange itself was seamless and our interactions with the family were very positive. We loved the house and it was accurately represented on the site. When we returned, our house was very clean and tidy.

We had a fantastic stay at Gerhard and Kerstin's beautiful home. They built this house and it is a credit to them. We loved it and were made to feel at home, even by FIndus the cat!! Communication was easy and Kerstin was great to give tips of where to go and what to do. Our house was left tidy and clean. Highly recommend this exchange and visiting Austria.
