Description of the home we are offering for exchange
80m2 flat in Colognes center. Huge kitchen / living room area and 2 separate bed rooms as well as a bath room with a big bathtub. The flat is located in the mezzanine.
The parents bedroom is a small room with a 1,60 bed and a little balcony. But unfortunately it's never sunny there. The other bigger bedroom belongs to my teenage son and has a 1,40 bed. The big sofa in the living room can be repurposed as a bed, too. Both bedrooms are very silent considering it's in the middle of a big city. We have 2 very cute cats - Sookie and Chili - who live with us.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The area the flat is located is located in the centre of Cologne but the street is very silent as it's a one-way-street. The neighbours are a mixture of people living here for ages, families with children and hipsters. You can reach almost each attraction by foot. But we also offer 2 bikes that you can use while you're here. Also the tram station is only 3-4 minutes away. The area holds a lot of cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, galleries etc. But you will also find parks and playgrounds. Without exaggerating, I would really say this is the best area to easily explore Cologne!

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
As mentioned already, there are a lot of interesting cafés and boutique shops right in streets around the corner. Opposite of our flat is the best rated Italian Wine Restaurant. 5 minutes away from here is the "Aachener Weiher" - a park that goes from South to the North of Colgone. And for kids we have the "Rathenauplatz" nearby...a huge playground for the little ones connected to an alternative beer garden for the parents. If you're interested in arts you will also find a lot of galleries around the corner. And for people who love to explore the City in the Nights...also bars and clubs are nearby. To see the Cologne Dom you can either go there by bike (around 10 minutes), by foot (around 30 minutes) or with the tram (around 20 minutes). You will reach the Rhine in the South of Cologne within the same durations than the Dom. No matter what type of holidays you prefer, I'm happy to give you tips while you're here!
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
As our 2 cats will live together with you, it's a must that you treat them nicely! There shouldn't be any loud parties in order to not disturb our neighbours. But listening to music isn't a problem. If you're a smoker you can use the balcony! Other than that there are no special rules except what is common sense!
