The exchange with Karen was great! We actually already went in 2019 - due to the Pandemic, Karen only came to Austria in 2022. We loved her place in London and hat a fantastic time.
Milvia & her husband are great exchange partners. They provided lots of information material and were very hospitable. They even provided some Italian red wine. The apartment is spacious and very centrally located. It is tastefully appointed. I would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend Milvia as an exchange partner and/ or exchange with her myself again.
