"During my semester abroad in Barcelona, Flatswaps was a lifesaver! I swapped my Edinburgh flat with a local student and got to experience authentic Spanish living. It saved me thousands compared to student housing and I made a lifelong friend.

"As a computer science student doing research at UvA, finding affordable housing in Amsterdam seemed impossible. Through Flatswaps, I connected with another student and we both got authentic local experiences instead of expensive tourist accommodations.
