Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We live in an apartment house with four floors. Our apartment is situated on the groundfloor, 100m², three rooms, a big living room, a bedroom with a double bed, and a breakfast room (so called because we love to have breakfast in this sunny place) with a sofabed. Bathroom and toilet are separate. There is one balcony on the streetside (east) and a terrace at the back (west). The rooms are bright because of the big windows and glass-doors. Each room has a door to get outside. There is a new oak-floor in two rooms and a parquet floor in the livingroom. We have recently replaced our bathroom and renovated the livingroom.
In spring and summer we need homelinkers who are ready to water our plants on the balcony and the terrace.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

The people who live in our house mostly own their apartement, like we do. Most of them have been living here since years and they are friendly and helpful. Two of them are also homelinkers. We live within a ten minutes walk to the river Elbe , in a quiet little street (blind alley) , in one of the most interesting and popular districts of Hamburg. This part is called Ottensen. The surroundings are green.When you sit on the balcony or the terrace you can hear the sounds of the big ships arriving at and leaving the harbour. You reach the center of Ottensen/Altona by foot (15 minutes walk) or you take one of the three different buses. There you find lots of interesting boutiques, restaurants,cafés and the "Mercado", an interesting shopping mall for food. Many young people have moved to Ottensen during the last years. - You reach Altona by railway. There is also the S-Bahn and a lot of busses. A ferryboat at the river Elbe, 15 minutes walk from our home, takes you to the harbour, the harbourcity and to the other side of the river. You can easyily reach the new Elbphilarmonie by bus from Altona (30 minutes ride) where you have a great view of Hamburg.
Near our home you will find a small turkish supermarket and two bakeries.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

We have prepared informations about what you can do in Hamburg and especially in Ottensen. We created some walks for you, starting from our apartment along the river to “Blankenese”, a very picturesque part of Hamburg. We live near the Botanical garden. You can walk to the famous fishmarket on early Sunday morning. There are a lot of sightseeing possibilities in Ottensen. If you want to organize something, tell us in advance. If you would like to listen to a concert in the Elbphilarmonie try to get tickets as soon as possible. They are always sold out. Around Hamburg you can visit a lot of interesting places, for example the Baltic sea, the medieval towns of Lübeck and Lüneburg, the island “Sylt” in the North Sea. You get there very easy by train from Altona or Hamburg main station. You will find these informations in our apartment when you arrive. Feel free to ask us in advance if you want to book tickets for the opera or Deutsches Schauspielhaus. We will try to help you.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We are looking for exchanges for some weeks (two or three) because we like to take our time and get to know your home, your town and your surroundings. Its a differnt kind of travelling to stay somewhere for some weeks and we think it is interesting for you to spend some time in our part of Hamburg. We prefer May/June and September/October for traveling. Our favourite is walking/hiking and we travel by public transport. So it is important for us to get to your home by train or by bus and we need shops nearby.
As we love our plants, we need homelinkers who care for them during their stay. We like children and we are grandparents but in our appartment there is only one bedroom. That´s why we marked "Kinder nicht erlaubt".
