Hva kommer du til å elske i dette hjemmet
We are experienced exchangers on another site. I've included some of our reviews at the end of the photos.
A non-simultaneous exchange is possible as we can vacate to Tina's parents' home nearby. You can come to our home anytime, but we can only travel to your home during school breaks. We like to limit this to international exchanges so we don't go into home exchange "debt" and owe a bunch of stays on top of already being out a couple months to travel
Our home was built in 2005 and is located in a well-developed suburban neighborhood. You may not be able to tell that it's well-developed as we are surrounded by forest with many trees blocking views. The first 2 stories are finished spaces totaling 1686 sq ft/156 sq m. Including our unfinished basement, the total size of our home is 2822 sq ft/262 sq m. Master bedroom is located on the main level and includes an on-suite bath. The other 2 bedrooms, playroom, and second full bath are upstairs.
BEDS:
Master Bedroom - King size bed.
Bedroom 2 - IKEA Minnen extendable toddler bed. Sleeps 1. Can extend up to a twin size bed. Here is more info on how that works: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/minnen-ext-bed-frame-with-slatted-bed-base-white-s59124621/
Bedroom 3 - Twin size bunk beds. Sleeps 2.
Extra bed - We have a queen size bed (sleeps 2) in storage that can be set up in one of the bedrooms in lieu of a single bed, in the playroom, or in the open unfinished basement.
BATHROOMS:
Master Bath - shower/tub/toilet
Upstairs Bath - shower/tub/toilet
Half Bath - sink/toilet
We do not have a cleaner, but we have an automatic vacuum/mopping robot that helps save time. If needed, a trusted family member can clean for a fee. Fee depends on how much of the house needs to be clean.
We do not allow shoes to be worn inside our home. This is very important to us.
We cannot exchange with smokers, even if you are an outside smoker.

Come and see the city known as "the gateway to the west". Home to nearly 3 million people, St. Louis is a family friendly town with many free attractions. In fact, St. Louis boasts more free attractions than any other US city outside Washington D.C.
One of my favorite things about St. Louis is the architecture. There are many beautiful turn-of-the-century homes. Even Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Eames have designed a home here. Below is a small taste of what the area has to offer:
*** THE ARCH | No trip to St. Louis would be complete without a ride up to the arch, or what my girls like to call "the rainbow". The museum below is free admission. Catch a steamboat ride along the Mississippi river afterwards.
*** ST. LOUIS ZOO | Free admission. Named best US zoo by USA Today in 2017 and 2018 and ranked in the "World's Top 10 Zoo" by TripAdvisor: https://tripadvisor.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=34145&item=30017

*** THE CITY MUSEUM | Our absolute favorite! Designed by artists, this museum is truly one-of-a-kind.

Listed in Fodor's top "10 Best Children's Museum in the US". https://www.fodors.com/news/arts-culture/10-best-childrens-museums-in-the-us Here is a video of the city museum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awEytBTjbTA

USA Today ranked Bonne Terre as one of the top 10 places to scuba dive in the US. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/7253678002 .
