This was a hospitality exchange and Nina was a lovely host. I really enjoyed staying with her. She took me sightseeing, although I hired a car and made plans what to visit and what to see. Nina even organized a birthday party for me, introduced me to her friends. We went to concerts together, to dinners at local restaurants, it was extraordinary being submerged heavily into the local culture and social interaction. I loved it!
I didn't make a synchronous exchange with the owner of the Cyprus condo. She came to my house while I was at home. She was an excellent exchanger and treated my house with respect. We enjoyed each others company when our schedules permitted. I will not be going to Cyprus until December.
Eva is an excellent exchange partners. She was readily available via WhatsApp and very flexible. She left my house in perfect condition!
Everything was wonderful! Nina welcomed us very warmly. We had an unforgettable experience at her home! Thank you once again.
