A reason not to do vacation home exchanges
It seems like a weak reason to me, but here's an article about how vacation home exchanges can only work in theory because many homes have lots of strange quirks. I don't see a hard-to-find light switch ruining my vacation but maybe I'm just a bit more easygoing than the author...
Then again, some people just love to complain. If you read this journal from an American and an Irish person who did a vacation home exchange, you'll probably laugh at Greg (the Irish guy) who must have had a really miserable vacation. I'm glad I didn't have to go on vacation with him...
The fact that the Americans went to Portadown (population about 33,000), about an hour away from Dublin reveals my biggest problem with a vacation home exchange; most homes are in the suburbs. When I'm in a foreign country I want to see the cities, not the suburbs.

Since some people love being miserable and able to complain he probably loved it.
