room swap
Switch living spaces
A room swap is an exchange where two parties trade accommodations, typically for vacation purposes.
Travelers swap homes or apartments to avoid hotel costs while experiencing local living: We did a room swap with a family in Barcelona.
The term also applies to switching assigned rooms within a building—dormitories, hotels, or shared housing—when residents want different arrangements.
