Last week a spammer in disguise tried to contact fellow JewettStreet members with the use of a robot. Thanks to our excellent alert system, we stopped his attempt right at the outset. Unfortunately, the spammer got through to a few of our members.

To my big surprise and my great pleasure, the feedback from the affected members to this originally so unpleasant message I had to send to them was very positive. As a result, I started a correspondence with a new member from Moscow, our first listing in Russia. It was exciting to find out who’s behind Home-ID 1779 (no, not 007).

It is Alexander’s and his wife’s first attempt to try out home exchange. They offer a beautiful 3-room apartment in the heart of Moscow. What is unusual, the apartment comes with a personal driver! (Now, this information does remind me a little bit of James Bond, after all.) Alexander’s likeable comment about his apartment: “Our flat is typical of the Soviet period. But we make up for our hospitality.”

The Muscovite’s preferred home exchange destinations are Australia, USA and Canada, but they are open to your suggestions. They are also open to hospitality exchanges.

Off to Moscow!
