“We had a lovely time in Berlin by Franck and Maren. Their flat is really spacious, calm and cosy. You can reach the center of the city in a few minutes from there and enjoy the lot of things to do in Berlin. We really enjoyed the beautiful park nearby. We also had the chance to meet the family and would be pleased to do another exchange with them one day. Thanks a lot!”

About our home
We have a top-modern beautiful and spacious apartment which recently has been completely sanified and reconstructed. The apartment has seven rooms: one 40qm combined open kitchen and living room with a big table for at least six persons (3 kids chairs available) and a huge 3x1,5m sofa to relax or watch TV, 3 bedrooms with a double bed each, a spacious childrens room with another double bed and a two stores playhouse. You can choose from two bathrooms: a bigger one with an extra large bathtub and a smaller one with a so-called raindance shower. Last but not least the apartment has four balconys: the main balcony is ca. 2x4,5 meters and oriented to the south e.g. for dining or sunbathing with a view on old and high trees belonging to a cemetery park. Very quiet, no traffic noise. Of course you can use cable TV, DVD player, highspeed internet, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and our bicycles (3 ladies, 1 mans, 1 kids bicycle plus a baby seat and a chariot carrier for two small children).

Frank's reviews
As a host (6)“Après avoir cru , a cause du coronavirus que cet échange n'aurait pas lieu, Maren et Frank nous ont incité à le faire.....et nous en sommes très contents! En fonction des reports d'avion liés à la pandémie, nous avons pu accueillir toute la famille et passer avec eux une très agréable soirée. Pendant notre séjour, nous avons pu , à tous moments, échanger par whats'app sur divers sujets..... agréable. L'appartement est idéalement situé, calme , vaste , dans un quartier agréable, parfait pour visiter Berlin. Il est très chaleureux et vivant , et possède tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin. Les restaurants dans le quartier sont bons et d'un prix raisonnables . Il semble difficile de trouver plus adapté et plus agréable pour visiter Berlin. ”
“We were delighted to be hosted in this apartment in the heart of Berlin that was superb located for exploring the city. The house is very comfortable and quiet and Frank and his family were very attentive and informative. I would definitively recommend this swap for anyone willing to make his trip a memorable experience.”
“Frank, Maren & the girls have a lovely fun apartment with a lot of space in a building with a warm community feel. Prenzlauer Berg was our favourite part of Berlin and all it\'s great shops, restaurants, parks and the lovely Thursday & Saturday market are a short stroll away. There is a tram and bus stop on your doorstep, from where you can be anywhere in the city in no time at all, with a fast and scenic above ground ride. Berlin\'s transport is fantastic and so no need to check the app or run for a bus or tram, as there will always be another in no time at all. Berlin is a fascinating city and we had a great holiday there. Thanks to Frank and family for being great hosts and leaving our home as if no one had been there.”
“Many thanks indeed to Frank and Maren for a great swap in Berlin. Superb location, lovely apartment, well behaved goldfish ;-) Their tips on what to do was really useful also. If you ever want to swap with Amsterdam again, you know where to come! Cheers Matt & Sarah”
“We would like to enthusiastically recommend Maren Frank, Emily and Jule's place. The flat is fantastic: spacious, bright and very comfortable. To have lunch in its sunny terrace is just something! To promenade in its neighbourhood, Prenzlauer Berg, is a pleasure with all its historical heritage, green parks, cute squares and nice restaurants and cafes. The place is also very central and well communicated; you reach the most interesting places of Berlin (what a city, waw!) easily and quick. If that wasn't enough, it's been a real pleasure to be in touch with Maren, Frank and their two little girls. They are the best hosts: generous, responsible, easy-going, you can't ask for more!”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Perfectly located in the hip Prenzlauer Berg district between sought after quarters Winsviertel and Boetzowviertel. Only 1km north of famous Alexanderplatz and the Berlin TV Tower. City Park Friedrichshain is just around the corner: open air cinema, beer garden and several playgrounds or sports facilities in the summer and ice skating and sleding in the winter. Only 15 minutes walk to the Kollwitz Market (Thursday and Saturday) and many many shops, restaurants and playgrounds nearby. Our apartment is situated rather central: a ride by public transport or bike to Berlin Mitte district takes only 10-15 minutes. There you find a countless number of shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs, galleries and museums as well as a rising number of roof terraces and beach clubs along River Spree to relax and chill out after having visited one of the famous sights as Brandenburg Gate, Stelenfeld Shoah Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Dome, Reichstag Parliament Building, Museumsinsel, C/O Berlin Museum, Synagogue and so on...
