Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We offer a studio apartment in a residential area in Berlin. The S-Bahn is 8 minutes per foot away and takes 20 minutes to reach the Brandenburg Gate. The studio has one room with a sleeping couch. There is a separate bathroom and kitchen. The whole apartment is 34 m2. So it is not huge but comfortable for two people. It is on the ground floor of the building, facing the courtyard.
