What is the most common problem Artelier members encounter?
One which does come up occasionally is simply a difference standards of tidiness. Although all members are reminded to leave their studios / homes clean and tidy for their guests it’s just a fact of life that housekeeping standards can vary. You must remember that you will be staying in a lived in home, not a five star hotel, and reflect on the space and other advantages you can enjoy even if your exchange partner’s studio is not up to your own housekeeping standards. People who are overly house proud need to consider if they will be able to relax and enjoy the holiday before considering home exchange. However, most swappers treat their guest studios and homes with great respect.
