Thank you all for your replies, I think it is definitely best that we have them here for the walk through. My husband is Swiss, so speaks the local dialect fluently - but it still seems like the best thing to have the MV here to make sure things go smoothly. Especially since yesterday the hauswart came up to complain that some comics and magazines my husband left outside over the weekend as free for the taking were "all over the place and soaked with rain". I went downstairs an hour or so later and didn't see a single trace of any of the mess he described - everything was gone. My husband left to catch his flight back to the UK Sunday evening and 75% of what we left out was gone by then. That guy is probably going to be trouble...
