Read More...To The Glazer Family, We were so happy to express our gratitude to the Glazer Family for allowing us to stay longer in their home during our visit to our Grandson that is working in Berlin. We had a wonderful visit to their home because of the convenient location to all transits and the availability of restaurants, groceries, and the great parks and green space in their neighborhood. We felt very welcomed and comfortable in their home. We especially enjoyed the backyard and the long walks in the forests behind their house. This is a unique family that understands the attitude of home exchange. We would recommend any home exchangers use this family for a trade to the Berlin area. They understand travel and we wish them well with their young family as they learn to travel the world together as they grow!

Timor, Kira and their children took excellent care of our house. They left our house in a super clean state and have surprised us with nice gifts.

Read More...Timor and Kira have been very kind to let us stay in their house during their holidays in Norway (a non-simultanious swap). Needless to say, Berlin is a wonderfull city, with tons of fun thing to do, even with todlers. We enjoyed our stay in the house of Timor and Kira. Upon arrival, we got a warm welcome with pesto, juice and chocolat. Communication prior to and during the swap was excellent. The house guide was accurate, and also contained several good references for activities and restaurants. The house is perfect to accomodate young children (our 3 children have similar age as theirs). Our car broke down on the day we planned to travel to Berlin, so we didn't have a car during our stay. Luckely, the house is very close to subway and shops; we didn't miss our car. We really appreciated the nice neighbourhood, the garden, the piano, the well equiped kitchen, the new bathroom,... We look forward to return the favor and host their family in our house.

Read More...Timor and Kira's very spacious home was a delight for us during a sunny week of spring, 2019. The outdoor space felt like part of the main room, with its branches beginning to leaf out in green and blossoms attracting many birds. The home is ideal for a family like the happy one that lives there. It is quiet yet close to transit to the city, and it is across from a park. We recommend this home to HomeLinkers of all ages, and its adventurous family who enjoy travelling the world. Berlin is a unique city in Europe: new and young; don't miss it!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Spacious house surrounded by lushious garden. Sitting in a quiet, safe and sound neighbourhood, this is a place to combine exploring thriving Berlin and round up the day by a glass of wine in the garden under one of the apple/cherry trees. Later you can enjoy a bath in our newly renovated bathroom, counting the stars from the glass roofed bathtub. The attic is also brand new- with lots of skyfacing windows and a double-king size bed, it guarantees for the best sleep to charge your batteries for another action filled day in our exciting city! There is a new bathroom as well. Being a family with small children we naturally are very well equipped for the needs of children: high chairs, sand box, swing, playing kitchen, loads of games,... it´s all there for your kids:) There are two children bedrooms both equipped with double-bunk beds and another playroom with a single bed. The highlight most likely is found in the extra-large basement, which we turned into an adventure indoor playground, including a ninja-line, climbing wall, trampoline, super-soft gym mat, slide and basketball... and last but not least: to make your stay a bit greener- our electricity is 100% green, with our solar power plant on the roof.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Berlin is a cultural melting pot, a city that never sleeps and a city where THE action took place during the last century of european and transatlantic history. Berlin offers a wide range of attractive activities for culture lovers, shopping fanatics, foodies, people who love cold war history, people watcher,.... Berlin has it all and makes our hometown a perfect city trip destination with a guarantee for extraordinary memories and stories to take back!
We live in a cosy street in 2min walking distance to two large parks with jogging courses and playgrounds. In only 6 minutes you can walk to Zehlendorf Mitte- a bustling town center offering everything you need for daily live and beyond. There are supermarkets, pharmacies, boutiques, bakeries, restaurants.... mostly in historic, scenic buildings.
You will love our place being on the one side a place to relax from city life and on the other being so close to where the action takes place- we are extremely well connected with downtown Berlin!
We have our "private" bus stop 1min from our house and top public transport options mainly departing from S-Bahn station "Zehlendorf" with several bus lines and train connections to downtown Berlin. From there a train takes you to Potsdamer Platz within 20 min (non stop line S1), Brandenburger Gate and Berlins boulevard Unter den Linden is in 25min reach (non stop line S1) and the glamorous city west with thousands of shopping opportunities at Kurfürstendamm and stunnig Gedächtnis Kirche is reached comfortably by nonstop express bus (X10) in only 30 minutes... only to name some examples:)
