We are Karin, Andre and our daughters Theske and Feemke. We live in a nice single family house on the outskirts of Oldenburg in Lower Saxony. Our house was built in 2004 and has a brick frontage that is kind of typical for the northern parts of Germany. The house’s heart is its spacious living and dining room with its six large windows/doors that give direct access to a large patio and the garden. However, the windows also make sure that is quite bight inside even if the weather shouldn’t be too nice. The dining area directly opens up to the kitchen which is equipped with all important kitchenware.

The bedrooms are all on the upper floor – the parents’ bedroom with a (very comfortable) waterbed and the two bedrooms for the girls that are both furnished with a queen size bed (1.40 × 2.00 m). There is also enough space to place another bed in everyone of these. In addition, there is another possibility to sleep on the attic.

The main bathroom on the upper floor has a masoned shower and a bathtub.

The patio is located in South-West direction allowing you to enjoy the sun all day long. In the garden there is a large trampoline and if you like you can also assemble a small swimming pool and fill it with water.

As said above our house is on the outskirts of Oldenburg but it doesn’t really take long to get into the city’s centre. This can easily be done by bicycle (Oldenburg is a true bicycle riding town!) which we strongly recommend to really discover Oldenburg and its near neighbourhood. However, if you prefer you can also reach the city centre in only a couple of minutes by public transportation – the next bus stop is located almost directly at our front door – or by car.

We discovered home exchange for us in 2015 and we have always been excited about it since because it is just so easy and straightforward and we have seen so many nice places so far.
