We, Paula and Thomas, live and work as artists in Berlin.
Because we have to take care of our 'Schrebergarten' in the south-west of Berlin during the summer, we prefer to exchange only for several days within Germany. We would like to visit cities with a large cultural offer, with parks or the location at the coast.
Another possibility for an summer exchange would be: non simultaneous. We offer our apartment for several weeks during the time March - October and stay in our garden-house. Then we would like to visit interesting places in Europe and the east-coast of the USA for several weeks during October - March. It would be nice to get more sunlight during the winter time.
Last Winter we had have again wonderful experiences with our HomeLink partners in Tinajo/Lanzarote: house/garden- and cat-sitting. In January and February 2023 we will be there again.

Quiet although a few minutes to metro, buses, street market (Winterfeld : extra), small and big stores (amazing Ka De We). Paula cooked for us a delicious meal with a dish from her great grandmother. Many attentions were waiting for us. Their garden in south Berlin is charming too. Our house was very clean. A really good exchange! Thank you Paula and Thomas.
