This is a beautiful home, in a quiet suburb of Bern. It felt very rural, but was so close to everything! A superb location!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are located in a small village (http://www.bremgarten-be.ch) in the hilly Swiss midlands bordering our Capital Bern, right on the bank of the Aare river. 50 meters walk to crocodile free and very refreshing river swimming, 500 m to supermarket, post office, bank, and bus which takes you to Bern city centre (railway station) in 10 min. Ideal for people looking for
quite but centrally located place. It takes 30 min - 1 h to get to the Alps (incl.ski stations) or Jurassic mountains.
We offer two exchange options:
1. We have a spaceous, fully equipped studio with separate entrance, kitchen, bathroom and covered balcony in the basement. Will be newly renovated in Mai 2022. Very nice for up to 2 persons (or small family), available year round for simultaneous and non-simultaneous exchanges.
2. Our main house (3 bedrooms, good for 4-6 persons) is ideal for a family with children or those looking for a private road, no traffic. The house is available for exchange during our vacation times only. These can vary, so please feel free to ask.
