“We had an an amazing week at Hendrik’s flat. It’s very easy to get to the flat from the train station and city center thanks to Hamburg’s excellent transportation system. The flat had great wifi and desk setup which made it easy for us to work during the week. The neighbourhood is very lively but the street and apartment are relatively quiet. Hendrik had great tips about the city and was very responsive. Thanks again!”

Hendrik's reviews
As a host (11)“Great flat in fantastic location. We really enjoyed our stay in Hamburg and Henrik's flat was super! It's clean, comfortable and has easy access to the rest of Hamburg by public transport. Henrik was helpful and a good communicator. Looking forward to welcoming him to Starnberg in the future ”
“We loved Hendrik's flat – it is so cosy, bright and has everything one needs. The surroundings ist amazing: the houses are beautiful, the restaurants great and the coffeebars yummy. There is plenty to discover nearby, but also inside Hendrik's home. It has beautiful interior details and it's funny to discover a new framed artwork somewhere not too obvious. The communication was great and everything worked out superfine. We would love to swap again :) Thank you, Hendrik!”
“We spent some wonderful days in Hendriks cozy appartment. It is very nicely situated in a lively, yet quiet neighbourhood with wonderful Gründerzeit-houses. It was easy taking the underground to town - or yet taking long walks exploring different parts of Hamburg from there. The contact with Hendrik was very easy and friendly, we definitely recommand him as a host - and would love to return to his home another time.”
“We had a great exchange to Hamburg, staing in Hendriks flat. It is situated in a great neighborhood, with several restaurants and shopping options nearby. Easy access to the city centre with train. Communication was great, and we can recommend Hendriks place when visiting Hamburg. Thanks for your hospitality and for sharing. ”
“We spent two weeks in Hendrik´s apartment and had a great time. The flat is beautiful, comfortable, and in a great location. Hendrik was a pleasure to talk to, and gave us fantastic tips about Hamburg. Thank you so much! ”
“What an amazing first swap experience! Hendrik's flat was fantastic, and so was the communication with him. I really appreciated how easy it was to arrange, and how flexible we kept it regarding final dates and times, given the current circumstances. The flat itself is perfectly located in a beautiful area with a lot of cafes and restaurants around, which we loved exploring. I even found a cool running route around the area. We'd love to repeat the experience and visit Hamburg again once shops and restaurants are open again, and we definitely hope Hendrik is up for it! Thanks again for the exchange, Hendrik! ”
“We spent a fantastic Easter week in Hendrik's and Ann Kristin's flat and enjoyed it greatly. The communication with them was very easy and friendly from start to end. Their flat is beautiful and bright, and very typical of Hamburg. Being originally from Hamburg myself I can say their neighbourhood is one of if not the best in Hamburg, full of turn-of-century buildings, quiet but still close to everything and with bars, restos, shops etc. all nearby. We came with two small kids so very good for us was also the big playground 50m from the flat. Thank you Henrik and Ann Kristin for your hospitality. Highly recommendable!”
“One of the best exchanges! Lovely location, lovely apartment en lovely people... What more do you wish for! Thank you, Hendrik and Gwen...”
“We had a great exchange to Hamburg, using the flat of Hendrik and Ann Kristin. It is situated in a great neighborhood, many fine restaurants, café's and shopping nearby, and within close range of city centre. A great place to get back to after a day exploring Hamburg, which is an absolutely stunning place. We can definitely recommend Hamburg, this flat, and the hospitality of Hendrik and Ann Kristin. Thanks guys.”
“We had a lovely stay in this apartment in a cosy neighborhood. Informal, student like, green with classy shops, houses and a lot of different restaurants at walking distance. Hendrik left very original ideas how we could pass our time with the children and the bikes we brought along. The arts on the wall are very tasteful and the apartment and shared entrance of the building feels spacious. ”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Location:
Hamburg-Hoheluft is a blossoming and centrally located, yet quiet and green neighbourhood. The 73 square meter apartment is located in a quiet side street, with very regular short bus and train links to popular areas like St. Pauli, downtown, university district, Altona and Eppendorf ). Very good shopping facilities are given. Nice restaurants, cinema, pubs, bakeries, supermarkets and beautiful parks are nearby. There is also a bike rental station around the corner (5min walk) and in the hill there are for example only 10 minutes by bike along the idyllic Isebek channel.
