Hello, we are a working couple living in the city center of Darmstadt Eberstadt. We like the combination of living in the city and having a lot of nature around that area. We love hiking, cycling, cooking, reading, travelling and spending time with friends and family. Darmstadt is called the Scientist city and is surrounded by forest. You can travel to Frankfurt, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Mainz, Wiesbaden, Odenwald quite easily. Frankfurt airport is 30 minutes away.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Family house in Darmstadt Eberstadt, with 3 bed rooms and 2 bath rooms, kitchen, living room and dining room. During the last couple of months we have reconstructed the house. We like quite open space and "clean walls" in our own home. It is quiet although located in the city center of Darmstadt Eberstadt with various shops, week end market and main commuting station 50m away. You can reach forest, Odenwald and Bergstraße quite fast as well as the surrounding cities Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Mannheim, Wiesbaden and Mainz.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Forest is nearby and you can easily have a walk in the evening or during the day. There are bicycle toors to Darmstadt, Pfungstadt, Bensheim, etc. You can enjoy a week end market where you can buy cheese, meat, fruits and vegtables (even honey). Our house is surrounded by several bakeries, book store and smaller super markets, vegetable stores, butcher, beer garden in the summer and Christmas market in the winter on friday and the week ends and a few restaurants and cafés. You can reach public transport within 2 min (50m) and Darmstadt city center with a fast line in about 8 minutes. We have really friendly neighbors (most of them are retired) and we like that our neighborhood is not so anonymous.

You can explore the surrouding near by walking distance a few cafés and restaurants. We can recommend a few restaurants in the city center of Darmstadt as well.

Also there is a "Streuobstwiese" for children, hiking routes to "Melita-Fountain" Prinzenberg, Nature Reserve Kühkopf reachable very well with bike and not a lot of steep. In Darmstadt there are 2 cinemas, the hundertwasser house, shopping possibility, restaurants, cafés, bars, Events, theater (including musicals, Opera), museums, Herrengarten, beer garden, Oberwaldhaus (horse back riding for children, mini gold, paddling boat, playground, bike roots, restaurants), World Natural Heritage near Oberwaldhaus, Rosenhöhe, Climbing forest and hall and various more.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is important for us to keep our house clean and to take off the shoes before entering the living area. Inside most of the plants only need water once per week and outside the garden there is an automatic watering. However, in the summer time we need additional watering in the little garden areas and areas where there is no automatic watering. It would be good if you like or at least not allergic to cats and could feed the cat in the mornings and evenings.
