How best to swap apartments?

Apartment-swap-filter. We're thinking of swapping our place in the center of Rome with a place in Manhattan for a long week around Easter 2009. Any information and/or recommendations on reputable house-swapping sites would be much appreciated. (Also: any stories on the sort of things swapping entails, and what's important to think about and get right in preparation.)

Several friends swear by homeexchange.com; on the site there's lots of information about the whole mechanics of houseswapping. Never tried it personally, but I'm tempted.
