Home Exchange Experience: The Good, the Bad, and the Moldy
Apr 19, 2026
Melanie Dixon loves France and has done home exchange multiple times, both as a guest and as a host. She joins Annie Sargent to talk about what can go wrong — and it turns out, quite a bit can.
Moldy bathrooms. Grimy sinks. A washer you're not allowed to use. An angry WhatsApp from a host who didn't like your honest review. Annie has her own war stories too.
They also cover the red flags to watch before you book, and why a five-minute video call can save you a week of misery.
Still worth it? Both say yes — but go in with your eyes open.
