Description

Preferred exchange: New York March/April. We're going to New York for a conference and wish to bring our two children to the city we lived in ten years ago. We are otherwise interested in exchanges/rentals during our vacations and are open to any destination. We offer a room of one's own, plus a house for the family. Our old farmhouse is perfect for an academic couple or a family with younger children travelling to Bergen for a shorter stay. The house is old but renovated and comfortable. The garden studio has been featured in architecture magazines and provides a very inspirational atmosphere. All guests are invited to enjoy the garden to its fullest. Please reach out if you have any questions!
