What exactly is a hospitality swap, and how do you set one up?

When a host member welcomes his exchange partner, both agree that the exchange partner will stay with them (just like a friend). Depending on the arrangement, it can be reciprocal or non-reciprocal.

During the exchange, your exchange partner will stay in your spare bedroom and share the common areas of your home (kitchen, living room, etc.).

To complete the hospitality exchange, add hospitality exchange to your calendar when you add your listing. Ensure that you and your host are in agreement about the host being present while you stay, as well as all the details of sharing a home once you are ready to confirm the exchange. Thus, you can avoid any potential misunderstandings and make your experience as positive as possible.
