House in Bergen, Norway available for exchange July 2025
Welcome to our home!
It's located just outside the city center of Bergen and near the airport. We have a big garden and a terrace. We have two bathrooms and three bedrooms, each equipped with a double bed. Forrest, mountains, beaches and supermarkets are nearby. It's also easy to get around by public transport. We have a Toyota Auris hybrid and can exchange cars with you.
We have two daughters of 15 and 19 years old. We are looking for an exchange home with 2 or 3 bedrooms, depending on if our oldest daughter is going with us. On vacation we like to go swimming, shopping and sightseeing. We prefer a beach on close walking distance and love an old city center nearby.
We can exchange for 2 to 4 weeks in July 2025, preferable a place with a warm climate. We are also looking for to exchange with a family in the Northwestern part of the Netherlands for one week at the beginning or end of July.
