We are Matthes (50) and Maria (46) and are a happy couple who likes to laugh, talk and spend time together with our friends and family. Matthes, (the quieter one) likes sports a lot (especially biking and playing Volleyball) but unfortunately age and time give him limited access...
Maria, the louder one, likes to dance (especially Salsa) and knows that Yoga does her good (but there is always so much more that needs her attention...).

Read More...Very beautiful and clean apartment in a friendly neighborhood, with many shops and restaurants. The area is particularly well served by public transportation: tram, U-bahn and S-bahn, all at walking distance from the apartment. Moreover, we were welcomed by a very good meal! Berlin is a great city to visit. A very successful exchange!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our well loved and quiet 2 bedroom apartment is on the fifth floor (which is the top floor… mind: there is no elevator) of an 19th century building in Prenzlauer Berg. You can read a good book on our comfy sofa, cook meals in our well equipped kitchen (please feel free to use any of our fresh herbs found on the kitchen balcony which - by the way - has sun in the morning), enjoy a bath in our bathtub while listening to your music on one of our SONOS boxes or chill out on the living room balcony while viewing the sunset.
The apartment sleeps 4 people comfortably. With an (existing) extra mattress it sleeps 6 but then you‘ll have 4 people sleeping in the master bedroom…

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our apartment is found in the trendy neighborhood of Prenzlauer Berg. "Visit Berlin" says: city life is particularly charming in Prenzlauer Berg with its buzzing cultural scene and legendary wealth of bars surrounded by 19th century buildings. There is not more to say: we love it here. There are lots of things to do (a shopping center, a large variety of bars, pubs and restaurants are in walking distance, the famous Getsemane church where the peaceful revolution started in 1989 and of course Mauerpark with a great flea market and open air karaoke on sundays).
The Metro (U2), tram (12 and M1) and suburban train (S 41, 42, 8, 9) is just around the corner and operates all night (on weekends).
You will find out that there are a lot of young families living in Prenzlauer Berg which brings the right mix for living in this neighborhood (we call it "Kiez").

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We love our home and want you to feel at home too. Feel free to use anything and handle it as if it's yours - we all will be happy that way. As we like a clean apartment when we come back, please leave it a condition that our cleaning lady won’t quit...
