“Best home swap we've had. Everything about it worked out so that it was a fabulous experience. The only thing I'd say is that the place has a great energy which means you instantly relax. It also means you sleep more so if you have an agenda to tick off be sure to add an extra night or two! Thank you Frederic and Vanessa for making memories with us. ”

About our home
Our barn is from 1860. It has been restored 2018. It has a beautiful architecture from the outside. The interior is modern with a lot of art works. There is a fire place in the living room. The barn is in itself eternally modern. The contrast of the white walls and the wood is absolutely stunning. It is like a cottage in the city. We have public transportation around the corner which will take you within 30 min. to the central station, museums, airport, etc. By car it will only be 15 min. to downtown. There a several wonderful restaurants close by. Cologne is 1,5 hours from Brussels and 3,5 hours from Paris by the train Thalys. Perfect location to do some trips from around here. Cologne is famous for the cathedral spires tower over Germany's oldest city and its innumerable cultural and historical treasures, world-famous museums and active art scene. Take a trip through 2000 years of history and visit cultural monuments from the Roman Empire to modern times. Also, Cologne is an art and culture metropolis of international renown: 42 museums, such as the Museum Ludwig, which houses the biggest pop art collection outside the USA, the new cultural Quarter at Neumarkt and 120 galleries with the widest variety of collections from all eras bear witness to Cologne's reputation as a centre for art and culture. Cologne also has an extremely animated theatre scene.
