Raymond and Valerie have a beautiful home in Montreal. It is warm, comfortable and full of character, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy. We especially loved sitting out in their lovely garden, enjoying meals. The house is also wonderfully located, close to a beautiful park, the subway, great cycle lanes and a lovely local market, making it a very enjoyable place to stay.
Raymond, Valérie y la familia han sido muy amables y atentos. El anuncio refleja fielmente cómo es la vivienda, y además el barrio es muy auténtico y tranquilo. Han ayudado en todo aquello que hemos necesitado, haciendo que nuestra estancia en Montréal haya sido muy satisfactoria. La vivienda es muy cómoda y agradable, te prestan también lo necesario para ir de acampada, y te dan recomendaciones para disfrutar al máximo de la región. Recomendamos absolutamente realizar intercambios con ellos!
Fabulosa famila, el intercambio resultó fácil y muy cómodo por sus indicaciones y atención. Siempre han estado atentos a nuestras necesidades y a que conozcamos bien Montrea y alrededores y su gastronomía. Muy agusto. La casa esta muy bien, cómoda y como se ve en las fotos. Intercambio muy recomendable.
The home was exactly as described on the site – very accurate and reliable. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. We felt right at home.

An active family who likes to slow travel and share our local experience with home exchangers
We are a family of 5, with two boys, 17 and 15, and a girl, 10.
We are experienced travelers, having traveled around the world (40+ countries), worked and lived in Seattle, USA and Paris, France. Our kids have seen more countries than their age and are eager to see more. We want to learn, share about culture, music, food and history of countries we visit.
Raymond is a software architect in aerospace, plays guitar in a band, plays tennis and hockey; Valérie works as a finance analyst in a hospital; she enjoys skiing, hiking and board games with the kids; Mali is our geek, likes D&D, gaming and robotics; Luan is our active son, but also likes gaming with his brother; Lhasa loves to dance, draw and paint.
We want to share Montreal in our own way, being close enough to places of interest, while being able to retreat to a quiet neighbourhood after having soaked in a day of walking, biking, commuting around town.
We would want to show the world to our kids, one home exchange at a time.
