Hi there, my name is Vanessa and I am a 28 year old Mexican-American Software Engineer living in Berlin, Germany. I have experience using homeswap via family who used to swap their home all the time. I found it to be such a lovely experience and nice way to get to know local areas that I decided to put my own flat up for swap. I have a small pug named Connie and she is extremely sweet and well behaved. I work as a Software Engineer which allows me to work remotely from nearly anywhere in the world. Because of this, I'm quite flexible with swapping and am open to a variety of options. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to records, cooking delicious food, reading books, exploring nature & parks together with my dog, and spending time with friends & family.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Beautiful and historic studio apartment with classic Berlin high ceilings and large gorgeous double windows which let in lots of bright light. My home is perfectly located in a lively non-tourist part of Berlin. It is located in a bustling and lively area which means there is always something to do regardless of the time of day. The great part is that it is perfectly protected from all the noise of the city because it is concealed in the back part of the street. It is located one block from a major U-bahn (underground train) line which takes you to Alexanderplatz, Kurfürstendamm, and all the other major tourist areas of Berlin in just over 20 minutes. This apartment is more than perfect for a solo traveler but also really lovely for a couple. The single bed folds out into a large and spacious double bed. Additionally, the couch may also be pulled out into a full bed.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
My neighborhood is a precious gem in the city. It's a true Berliner area that is thriving with lots of local cafes, bars, jazz venues, etc. You can shop at large grocery stores such as Edeka, Rewe, Kaufland, etc. or you can also shop locally at any of the several Turkish markets or Farmers markets which always offer fresh produce, meat, and a wider assortment of products. From here you are a 20 minute walk from the beautiful Tempelhofer field which is perfect for kite surfing, sun bathing, rollerblading, picnicking, and a bunch of other fun activities. There are also many beautiful canals and parks within 5 minutes of a walk. Additionally you have many nice movie theaters, concert venues, and delicious restaurants in this area.
