We had an absolute excellent home exchange with the Hein family! From the first contact, we felt a lot of warmth and hospitality, making us even more excited for the adventure ahead. The house was cosy and comfortable, and they really prepared everyting perfectly for our visit. We felt at home instantly. We had a lot of fun trying to speak in German to Alexa :-) The neighborhood they live in surprised us; although there are lots of houses, it is very calm, the streets are peaceful and there are several parks and playgrounds. Our kids loved to go to the little supermarket nearby, to get our daily breakfast. It was also very easy to hop on public transport and find ourselves in the heart of vibrant Hamburg within no time! We explored most of the highlights of Hamburg, like the Plant un Blomen park, the Elbphilharmonie, the fishmarket, the Speicherstadt, and of course also did some shopping. We ventured to Lüberg, visited a schloss in the neighbourhood, took a tour along typical half-timbered houses in the area, explored Bergedorf, and biked to a nearby lake for a quick swim. Also did a beautiful canoe ride on a section of the Elbe river. We were also dazzled by the large fair at the Dom! And every time we returned to the house, we were greeted by the sweetest and most adorable furry friend, Tayo. He instantly won the hearts of our children, and they had the time of their lives, cuddling and playing with him. All in all, a more than successful home exchange. Thank you again Ela, Andy, Sara, Jona and Nino. We are very grateful for this extraordinary experience! Regenerate response
