For summer 2025 we are headed for Portugal by train, and would love to arrange an exchange for a few days along the way. Barcelona, San Sebastián, Biarritz, maybe France (along the rail to Spain). You would have our house for the entire period, we would use yours for a couple of days only, as we are visiting family during our trip.

Small appartment, quiet street in the center of Amsterdam

We live in the heart of Amsterdam, near Nieuwmarkt and Waterlooplein, a 10 mins walk from Central Station.
Our house is small and full of books and other quirky objects! Most of our furniture is vintage/reclaimed or self built.

At the front of the house, overlooking the old synagogue, is the living/dining room and a home office space. We like family/board games so you'll find those too. Apple TV present.
We love bird watching and are lucky enough to have a lively tree in front of our window.

The small bedrooms and kitchen are at the back, accessing the narrow balcony.
Our kid is 13 and has still some toys in his bedroom, specially dinos and lego. He has a "cabin" bed with an extra drawer bed for a second child or a guest.
The kitchen and his bedroom give access to the balcony. Our tiny bedroom has a wall-to-wall bed and two closets - nothing else fits :) . Please note our bed is elevated (80 cm) to create storage space under. We do have a step-up if needed.
There is a narrow balcony, on the north side. We leave it a bit wild and sometimes grow vegetables there. It's also attended by birds due to the hanging bird feeders.
The bathroom has a shower and washing machine. You can hang clothes to dry upstairs.

The kitchen is made of reclaimed furniture with open shelves and has a big fridge, dishwasher, electrical (steam) oven and a retro gas stove. Our quirky home is also pretty full, it reflects our personal passions like comics and love for vintage.
Mother-in-law lives 2 streets away so any help needed she will be happy to provide.
