We are a family of three. We live in Berlin in a large and sunny apartment. Tobias is an avid CrossFitter, Elena likes to read a good novel and our three year old daughter is basically always on the run and loves to explore her surroundings.
We love to travel, visit friends near and far and enjoy both a night out in the pub or relax on the sofa with a movie or netflix. We often fire up the grill or cook with friends and like going to the countryside for a hike.
We are new to home swapping and open to almost any destination. We are quite flexibles with dates and would love to do a simultaneous exchange with another family or couple.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Location and public transport:
Our apartment is located in Steglitz, a district on the border of the city center's districts and known for its suburban flair with lots of parks, historic villas and mansions. There is a public park right around the corner of our apartment as well as many playgrounds. The apartment is close to the Botanical Garden as well as the popular shopping area "Schloßstraße". It is a quiet, residential area, ideal for families who enjoy being close to all amenities of urban life but who also enjoy some respite from the hustle and bustle of Berlin's city life.
There is a bus station 1 minute from the apartment with buses running regularly towards Schlosstraße (3 bus stops) and the city centre. The S1 station is a 15 minute walk from out apartment and is the direct link to Berlin Mitte and sights such as Potsdamer Platz, Brandenburg Gate, upscale shopping in Friedrichstraße or the area around Hackescher Markt. It is also the main connection for Wannsee or Potsdam (getting either to Potsdam or to Berlin Mitte will take approx. 40-50 minutes via public transport).
