house swap
Mutual lodging trade
A house swap is an arrangement where two parties temporarily exchange homes, typically for vacation purposes.
Rather than paying for hotels or rentals, participants stay in each other's residences for an agreed period.
We did a house swap with a family in Barcelona last summer.
The practice has grown through dedicated websites that connect homeowners looking to trade accommodations.
