<![CDATA[I have a very nice home in Sebastopol, but I am thinking about moving to the City. Before I make that decision, I want to spend some time there. So, I am looking for a single person or couple who own a home or condo in SF to do an exchange with for a couple of months or more. I like the Mission/Noe Valley area, but as long as the place is very comfortable, quiet and has a parking space (just got a new car), I would consider other areas (probably not the Sunset). I rent my house out regularly for 6-8 weeks every year when I travel South, with very good results - everyone loves my place. Here is a description: Located in beautiful West Sonoma County in Sebastopol, my vintage two bedroom Craftsman-style home is 3 blocks from the town center. Walk from this quiet neighborhood to restaurants, pubs (Hop Monk), theater, movies, year-round community pool, Whole Foods market, library, shops, parks, walking/biking trails and much more. West Sonoma County offers an incredible variety of things to do and places to see, including the gorgeous Sonoma Coast, Russian River, world class spas (Osmosis Baths), wine tasting, antiquing, hiking, biking, kayaking, surfing, fishing and much more - all within minutes of the house! The home is comfortable, cozy and artistically furnished , with fireplace and madrone hardwood floors throughout. The modern kitchen, with cobalt blue tile counters and island is wonderful for preparing gourmet meals using local fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses and wines from this bountiful area. The large deck off the kitchen, with outdoor furniture, BBQ, patio heater and nice view of the large yard is perfect for dining al fresco. The private custom built spa area has a wonderful hot tub, dry sauna and full bath, perfect for relaxing under the stars. There is a grape arbor w/ table and seating underneath and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows. Mature trees, flowers and garden areas surround the property. Maybe you are thinking about moving to Wine County or just want to chill for a while. Please let me know if an arrangement like this appeals to you. BTW, I am 62 next month, going on 40, single and thinking about moving to the City so I can be closer to the salsa clubs. Thanks, Michael ]]>

<![CDATA[Hi! This late 30s (IT professional) woman is offering pet/house sitting services in exchange for rent for preferably at least a month. I have dog walked/pet sit off and on since 2003 in the Bay Area. I prefer Pacifica on the Peninsula but will consider other areas as well. I have several references verifying trustworthiness, cleanliness habits and care given to the babies. I usually start with online references/emails for a potential client to read before proceeding... if after we meet and decide everyone is still amenable, I would also forward a list of more references for one to contact personally. I live an active (athletic), health conscious and quiet lifestyle and will happily spend time walking, involving dogs in fun outdoor activities of their choosing. I have also cat sit and owned my own dogs and cats in the past. I am an IT professional but started dog walking and pet sitting during the economic downturn of the early 2000s. I continue to pet sit even though employed as I enjoy being with animals and do not have any of my own. I am currently working in a less than part time independent consulting gig from home for Apple so certainly have plenty of time to sit dogs, in particular. OK, well, I will look forward to your emails and have a beautiful day! ]]>

<![CDATA[We would like to move to the Palo Alto area in the May timeframe, and are looking to rent our place. We thought a swap might be a good idea, if someone was interested in living in the inner richmond for 2 - 3 years, and had a place in the PA area that they wanted to rent.

The specs for our condo are below. 8th Avenue / Anza - 1300 sq. ft. - 3 bedrooms (1 of which is a master bedroom) - 2 baths (including master bedroom's) - washer and dryer - modern kitchen (granite countertops, refrigerator, granite floors, dishwasher, range/microwave) - hardwood floors, except for the bedrooms - fireplace - recently child-proofed!

<![CDATA[Hello, I am looking to swap apartments this May, between your Palo Alto/Stanford area apartment and my apartment in Paris. I am a 30 year old woman, and I live in –VERY-central Paris; rue St Jacques.My apartment is located in the heart of the Latin Quarter: 2 minutes walk to Notre Dame, St Chapelle, the Conciergerie,the Sorbonne, St Michel shops, Latin Quarter bars/cafés etc.. My charming 1 bedroom apartment is big enough for a couple, and possibly 1 or two children if they sleep on my extra mattress. My apartment is located in a historic 17th century building (“classé 17eme”). It has a large bedroom, kitchen with all appliances (microwave, fridge, hot plates); and there is a washer/dryer for clothes. The bathroom is a renovated tiled bathroom, bathtub with closet space. You will have use of free high speed Internet, local and international free calls, plus cable T.V including English channels like CNN. Also, if you are looking for a quiet place for your family, my apartment, despite being located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, is extremely quiet as there is a small courtyard inside the building, with absolutely NO noise. I am looking to spend most of the month of May in the Palo Alto/Stanford area. My dates are between Saturday the 1st of May and the 20th-so about 3 weeks. I don’t drive and I really need to be in the Palo Alto area for research purposes at Stanford. I have done several international swaps (France-U.S) in the past, and I’ve had really good experiences. I know the Palo Alto area very well, and I did a swap last summer; and I’m looking forward to doing another one! Please contact me by email if you would be interested in discussing more with me!]]>

<![CDATA[Yes, this is a real ad, written by a real person. I grew up in Oakland. Without going into any details, I know that some parts of Oakland are not as well off as other parts. I spent some time away in the service after growing up in the not so well off parts, came home to finish college and begin working in the community. A few years ago, I started a charity that is now doing great things in the community. I'm proud of our work and accomplishments. I now wish to set my roots further into east Oakland by purchasing my first home with my veteran's benefits. I'm an honest, simple and straight forward person. If you are thinking of selling your home in 2010, and this ad speaks to you, feel free to email me. I may be interested in purchasing your home. I'm not terribly interested in dealing with a broker or real estate agent who will complicate matters, add drama to the exchange or only be in it for the money. I am committing myself to living in east Oakland, and so I would love to continue the history of someone, a family or couple, for instance, who has also lived in Oakland for a while. At this point, they are simply moving on in following their dreams and selling their home, just as I am looking to follow my dreams through buying a home. In terms of the house itself, I am open to the following: 2 bed or less/1 bath around 1800 sq ft large yard, few trees (I love to garden!) open to exploring home sale options: immediate sale, rent/lease to own, etc. Home for sale in the range of $50,000 - $150,000 Located east of Fruitvale, west of 98th Ave; between International Blvd and Mac Arthur Blvd. There are so many different types of homes in Oakland. I'm open to exploring a number of offers until I feel the right situation comes along. It will just feel right for all who is involved, honestly. I would like to get to know the owners, in an ideal situation. And they would get to know me. I want them to know about the work I do, what else I do with my life, and how important it is I buy a home in my community East Oakland. So, if this ad speaks to you, feel free to email me. I look forward to hearing from you. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hi. I'm a writer who will be working on a TV pilot in LA throughout the Spring. I'm looking to swap my comfortable, nicely furnished 1 bedroom apartment in the Haight-Ashbury with someone who is equally responsible and considerate and looking for a short-term stay in SF. My place is on the second floor of a safe, well-maintained building on a lovely, quiet block near The Pandhandle. It’s close to all Haight St. and Divisadero St. services and to Buena Vista Park and Golden Gate Park. It’s about a 20 minute bus ride from downtown, with 4 bus lines operating within 2 blocks. It is very convenient to USF and UCSF as well. The apt. is about 650 sq. ft. with hardwood floors, a very large living room (14 x 22), a kitchen (updated 5 years ago) with separate dining area (used as an office now, but easily converted back to dining space if you prefer), and a small bedroom with a double bed. There's an 32" flatscreen TV, cable, stereo, and wifi. There is shared laundry in the basement and on-street parking only. Single occupancy is preferred, and sorry, I can't accomodate pets or smokers. I am hoping to find a place that is just as clean, comfortable, quiet and well-located as mine. Central L.A. (ie. The Grove, Beverly Center, W. Hollywood) is preferred, but will consider other areas as well. I am looking for a 1-2 month sublet anytime between 4/1 and 6/1, and possibly a bit longer. I have a detailed photo tour of my place I can send to you and will be happy to answer other questions you might have. Just tell me a bit about yourself, your place and your preferences in your reply. Many Thanks, Chris]]>

<![CDATA[I own a stunning loft apartment in East Midtown that I'm only living in part-time, and am seeking another person to help split the costs and have access 50% of the time. The architecture, the use of space, and the decor are all executed to perfection, and this exquisite apartment could easily show in Architectural Digest. The custom designed queen bed is in a quarter-circular sleeping loft accessed by a wrap-around bronze library ladder system. A separate home office with all custom built-in cabinetry surrounds you with 3 desk surfaces, solid wood cabinets, file drawers and shelving. There is a raised seating/living area that also functions as guest sleeping quarters with an actual bed built in and a window seat that looks out onto a stunning Chrysler Building and Midtown view. The wide-planked pine floors are stained a dark brown, and the 30 foot grand wall is treated with actual bamboo grass cloth. Bathroom has floor to ceiling coral blue glass tiles and fixtures by Hans Groe.

<![CDATA[I am looking for an apartment in Paris for two or three months. My timing is flexible. Anytime from April through October would be fine. I am a responsible, single man who would like to swap his sunny, spacious 1BR apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area (in Oakland, 10 minutes by subway [BART] to downtown San Francisco). The apartment is in a small 1920s-era building, with beautiful architectural details. The apartment consists of large living room, good size bedroom, small dining room, and small kitchen. There is a queen-size bed in the bedroom. There is also a twin-size Aerobed for guests. The apartment is very quiet and sunny being on the top floor of a six-story building (which is located on a hill). There are eleven windows with views of the Oakland hills, the bay, and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. High-speed internet is included. There are washers and dryers just off the lobby of the building. In addition to being close to San Francisco, the neighborhood has a lot to offer. There are cafes, shops, farmers’ markets, and restaurants—including Mediterranean, Mexican, Ethiopian, sushi, Chinese, Thai, and Indian, to name a few. There is a Whole Foods grocery store three blocks away and two health clubs nearby. And most importantly, there is Lake Merritt (a bird sanctuary) just two blocks from the apartment where you can walk and run, picnic, sail, and row—canoeing, kayaking, and sculling. The city of Berkeley and the University of California are only a few minutes away. In the Oakland and Berkeley hills there are fabulous redwood parks with hiking trails and breathtaking views. If you want, I would consider letting you use my car too. It is an old Saab but it would allow you to visit the beaches in Marin County, the wine country in Napa Valley, and to explore Point Reyes Peninsula. The use of my car would also allow you to see more of San Francisco than you would could possible see otherwise, unless you rented a car or took taxis. You can get to many of the most interesting and beautiful places in San Francisco from the Lake Merritt district of Oakland, where my apartment is located, faster than you can from many neighborhoods in San Francisco. Of course if you prefer, you can take a ferry boat from Oakland to San Francisco. And in terms of weather, Oakland is usually 10 degrees warmer and sunnier because it does not get the deep marine layer of fog that San Francisco does. I would like to swap my apartment for a quiet, centrally located, one- or two-bedroom apartment in Paris. I have two primary considerations. First, I am an editor for a book publishing company and I need extremely reliable, high-speed internet in order to do my job as I will be working from your apartment. Second, I have a two-year old cat (a Chartreux) which I will be bringing with me who is ridiculously well behaved. So, if you would like to live for a few months in the San Francisco Bay Area in exchange for your apartment in Paris, and you have high-speed internet and no objection to cats, I would love to hear from you. I have more photographs available on request. And we can talk via phone or Skype at your convenience. Sorry, no dogs and no smoking.

<![CDATA[A great home exchange motto is "There's no place like someone else's home", and that's exactly what home exchanging is all about. It offers the best vacation deal going - TOTALLY FREE ACCOMMODATION! Stop and think for a moment, what would it cost you to rent a large family home for two weeks, or even one week? When you home exchange that cost is zero! Even a 5 Star hotel couldn't offer the same amenities of a comfortable family home. You will have a fully equipped kitchen, separate bedrooms and bathrooms, a garden, toys for the kids - lots of space to spread out in. In many cases a car exchange is part of the deal as well, meaning an additional money saver! You will have a unique opportunity to live in a real neighborhood, get to know the neighbors and live among them like a native not a stranger. Neighbors may invite you for a meal and they will always be available to recommend good restaurants and spots to visit, secret places to enjoy. <a href="http://www.exchangehomes.com/search/show-list.php" rel="nofollow">Listings all over the world and close to home</a> North America, South America, Central America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia and more! ]]>

<![CDATA[Visit And Discover The Amazon In Comfort and Safety! You've thought about it and are intrigued by the Amazon, you seen the many documentaries on TV and much has been said about the importance and protection of the wild Amazon rain forest. Isn’t it time you experienced all of this for yourself? But it's not a simple trip to arrange and you don't want anything to go wrong! Typically the biggest concern for most ’Amazon wanna’ be travelers’ is the concern for comfortable and safe accommodations. The next thought is not being sold the retail, tourist trap type of off the shelf Jungle Package where it’s you in a crowd of others. We have it all wired for you! Experience this amazing place with the comfort of western quality accommodations at our private retreat near Balbina Brazil. We offer a wonderful facility with all the fascinations and amazing experiences the Amazon has to offer. Our private ranch is situated on the Utima river, 10 kilometers down river from the Balbina reservoir. The Ponderosa Situ (which means farm or ranch) is situated 4 kilometers off of the main highway, just a short and scenic 1 hour and 20 minute ride from the Manaus Airport (MAU.) What is there to do and see…. Lots! Our property is mostly old growth rain forest so your private guide will take you on nature hikes you won’t soon forget. Bird Watchers will be overwhelmed. If you are lucky, mother nature will treat you to a thunder and lightening rain storm you won't soon forget…. you haven’t seen it rain until you have experienced an Amazon rainstorm!! For the fishermen (and women!) the river holds an unlimited array of game species including the Tucana or Peacock Bass, pound for pound, some say, the best and most ferocious fighting fish in the world. Explore the river in a canoe or with our river and fishing guide Francisco in our motor launch. We also have productive and diverse orchards with every type of fruit you can imagine. Mango, Orange, lemon, lime, pineapple, Acai and a few dozen more I don’t know the names for! Your trip may include 3 wonderful meals a day beginning with fresh fruit and farm fresh eggs, a hearty several course lunch and what is typically a light evening dinner. In the evening relax on your private patio amongst the tree canopy situated above the river and the sounds of the jungle will fascinate you! We will also make sure the busy jungle experience includes some quality naptime in a comfortable hammock. Your private Casita features air conditioning, queen size bed, private bath with a hot water shower, partial kitchenette with refrigerator and private balcony. It comfortably sleeps 2 with 2 more possible via hammock. $100 real per person per night, double occupancy, includes 3 standard meals a day. Discounts available for 1 week or more! Special requests encouraged, additional fees for fully hosted fishing and guide services. E mail inquires and questions to Kevin at kpbrown@runbox.com and be sure to include the word Amazon in the subject line! Get started planning the unforgetable trip of a lifetime, Chio! We are a "Brazilian Family from the East Bay" and desire to swap our amazing spot in the Amazon for your Northern California vacation get-away. We have family and lodging in Manaus to pick you up and make all the connections for you. Lets chat and see if we have a desirable match? Photo's to come! I'm Kevin, E mail me at kpbrown@runbox.com ]]>
