Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We live in the North of Berlin. Pankow (Blankenburg) is a very quiet part of Berlin, villagelike, only 20 min to the city centre by train. We have a garden with a playground and a terrace to relax after an exciting day in town. Our house is perfect for children of all ages. We have three kids rooms, one with a single bed (90x200), one with a normal size bed (90x200) and two with a normal size bed and a second turnable one (both 90x200). There are also lots of toys. We also have a baby travel cot if needed. The parents bedroom has a double bed (160x200). The couch in the sitting room can be turned into a bed for 2 people. There is another turnable sofa in the guest room upstairs. We have two cats, a few chicken and two rabbits which we please you to look after, but our neighbors might also feed them if you cant do it for any reason. The chicken provide you with fresh eggs. There also is a Sauna in the basement.
We have a Nissan NV200 Evalia (7 seater) for use, if we dont take the car with us on holidays. But you dont really need a car in Berlin.
