Having lived in the same house all my life (21 years of it), it definitely is my home.
That said, it's not the place I feel most attached to. I'm currently flat-hunting in a different city, and I don't think I'll particularly miss living in Oxford, as much as I like it as a place.
I've spent time, from a couple of days up to a few weeks, in so many countries (17 if my latest count is correct), and I don't ever actually remember a time when I was at all homesick, or even missed being home.
And indeed, the places I feel most attached to are ones where I haven't spent more than a couple of weeks. A small town near Copenhagen, downtown LA, a tiny town in the south of France... I actually miss being in those places when I'm at home, and if I didn't have a job then I'd move to one of them in a heartbeat. Until then, I'll just keep counting down the days until work will take me there next...
