Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
You can walk to the heart of West Berlin in less than 30 minutes (or take a 2-stop subway ride). I would recommend walking down the beautiful Fasanenstraße, and maybe visit the historic Literary Cafe on the way. Then, you arrive at the magnificent Kurfürstendamm boulevard with the famous Memorial Church
and lots of shopping opportunities. The Berlin Zoo is right there as well.
Also, I would recommend to walk to the lovely Viktoria-Luise-Platz square and the lively Akazienstrasse with lots of cafes, restaurants and pubs.
Our favourite restaurants
- Ishin (a great Japanese restaurant right across the street from home)
- Benedict Breakfast (breakfasts of different styles from all over the world)
- Bikini Berlin (a cluster of hip restaurants and designer stores with a view of the Zoo)
Cafés & bars
- Cafe Bilderbuch (antique-style decor and great brunches)
- Viltoria Eis (a lovely ice-cream parlour)
- Salut Bar
Special places to shop

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Our home is equipped for kids, but not for babies and toddlers. Of course, you can come with an infant, but, pls, keep in mind that the apartment is not baby-proof anymore (our boys are 9 and 11 years old already).
We have 2 cats (one of them is super-friendly, the other one is quite timid). So, you will need to take of them (give them food, water and clean their toilets). It's okay if you come with your dog, but only if they are not aggressive towards cats.
Loud parties are not allowed.
