Flat in Berlin, Germany
We live in a lovely renovated loft in Kreuzberg (175 m2, high ceilings, huge windows, very sunny and green, very quite, wooden floors, open kitchen). It is a quite and beautiful green spot in a hip an lively neighbourhood. As we live in the backyard we don't hear any traffic or urban noises. We have seven rooms where we live as two adults in our mid/late fourties and our two kids (17 + 14). There are shops, restaurants, galleries and coffeeshops just around the corner. Yet you find lots of green surroundings in few-minutes-walking-distance: two parks, a river, a canal and a green yard for our housing-neighbourhood. Also in short-walking distance you find the East-Side-Gallery (pieces of the former wall, painted by artists), the "Badeschiff", a swimming-pool on a boat on the Spree (in winter wellness-Badeschiff) and a flee-market.
Other museums or places of interest are in bicycle-distance.
We have a car, but we hardly use it inside the town.
We live in the heart of Kreuzberg, one of the most wanted neighbourhoods in the centre of Berlin. In Kreuzberg you find lots of students, artists, designers, immigrants and young families. Life is vibrant, diverse, but still very relaxed and safe here.
We are a happy family, professionals as sociologist and political scientist, in our mid/late-fourties.
Our daughter is 17, our son is 14 years old.
We have done several exchanges and could refer you to our former exchange partners if you are interested in getting information from them.
One of us is allergic to cats. Unfortunately we cannot stay in houses with pets.

About Our Family
We are a familiy of four. Jutta is a sociologist and working for a NGO, Johannes is working in the international field at the University. Malena is 17 years old, Jonathan is 14. We have had several exchanges and always made best experiences. It is a good way to get to know the area or the city well and to have space. We treat the houses of our exchange partners carefully and respectfully. We have lots of space and children are welcome!
