Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have recently moved to this amazing house in the relaxed, but lively and multicultural Veedel (Cologne-ish for neighborhood) of Cologne-Ehrenfeld. We live right next to a park, which allows everyone to go for walks or to take a bike ride around https://www.yelp.de/biz/takufeld-k%C3%B6ln. The Ossendorf bath is 3 minutes away https://www.koelnbaeder.de/bad/ossendorfbad/and the tram 5 taking you to the city center in 10 mins right in front of the door. We are also close to some of the hippest bars and concert venues Cologne has to offer: http://cbe-cologne.de/. Köln-Ehrenfeld is known as a very young neighborhood especially loved by students and artists. We have five rooms in the 3-level house. On the ground floor you’ll find the kitchen open to dining and living room and an extra toilet. On the middle floor there are two rooms for the children (one with two beds, one with two dobble beds), a guest room (with doble sofa bed) and a big bathroom with shower, bath tub and toilets. On the upper floor you'll find a studio with a separate bathroom.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live right next to a lovely parc with playgrounds, Halfpipe etc. There are around 48 townhouses in Heinzelmännchenweg. Families, older people, academics, workers, a really nice mixture of very nice and extremly layed back people. Once a year in summer we close the street and celebrate a summer party all together. Cologne with its wonderful culture, museums, bars, clubs, shops, the wonderful Rhein River etc. But there are also very, very nice natural spots in the "Rheinland" and Eiffel that can be discovered from here like: Siebengebirge, Ahrthal, Siegthal...and different seas in the surroundings like Heider Bergsee or Escher See but also many other interesting German and European cities are easily reachable from Cologne like Bonn (30 min by car), Dusselforf (30 min by car) Paris (3 h by Train)...
