The space
Our 3 rooms apartment has a big living room with a couch that turns into a bed for 2. The kitchen is in an open space with the living. We have 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed (180*200) and another one with a bunk-bed.
There is also an open balcony and a nice view to the Pöstlingberg area. We do not have a TV yet, but we use a projector to watch movies. We have a good WIFI connection, access to Netflix is also provided.
The apartment is still a work in progress, we moved here few months ago. But we like it, the area is nice, easily accesible with public transport to the city center, close to the nature and parks. We would be more than happy to have you here to explore around :)
Guest access
The apartment is situated on the first floor, without elevator.
There is also a small garden that is accesible to the whole building. It has a big table and chairs, really nice to enjoy in the summer.

Neighbourhood
The area is really quiet and nice, there is a supermarket nearby, a restaurant with indoor playground, a pharmacy. There is also a great outside pool for the summer with nice picnic area.
Getting to my home
We are very close to the railway, which makes it very easily accesible from any direction.
The apartment is well positioned on the map, being easy to use it as a base to visit other cities like:

There is a very good connection to the city center. A tram station is just 6 min away (4 stops to the old town). There is also bus going to the lake close to us, the station for it is 4 min away.

We have just completed our non-simultaneous exchange with Diana's family and must say that we have had a really nice experience. They live in a cosy apartment near the centre of Linz. It is a very quiet area with shopping facilities nearby (at 2 mins. distance). The Danube is really close (5 mins) and the views from there are stunning. Although the flat is not big, it is OK for a family of four. We have felt at home and Diana has been really helpful. She has lent us a hand every time we needed it and her recommendations have been so useful. Thank you. -
We made our first simultaneous exchange with Diana and her family and we just could not choose better :) They are really nice and friendly people, we even met personally and spent some time together during our last day in Linz. The apartment is very beautiful and comfortable, Diana left us a lot of food and drinks, that we really appreciated as we were coming late our first day as usually :) Also I have really enjoyed the morning caffees on the balcony with a great view of Postlingberg where Grottenbahn can be found, we really liked this dragon train for kids, especially the underground with its fairytale world, it was perfect for kids and funny for us as well. As it was really hot during our stay, we have visited the nearby pool, where many pools for kids or a playground can be found. We really enjoyed it here, I hope we will exchange at least once again to explore more, in Linz or in Prague :) Communication was and still is perfect, Diana is really helpful anytime and we got lot of useful information :) We came back to Prague to a perfectly cleaned apartment, Diana even washed the bed linens and towels :) I can not say anything other than that I highly recommend exchanging with this friendly family :) -
We spent a great week this summer in Diana and Cornel's lovely flat. The flat was very comfortable - it is nice and tidy, so it was easy to find space for our things, and everything felt quite new. We loved sitting on the little balcony in the evenings from where we could look up at the Pöstlingberg mountain - and at Diana's pretty flowers. We also appreciated the fact that it was easy to create a cool breeze during the hot summer nights. The flat is very conveniently located, only a short walk and a few tram stops from the city centre (but in spite of this the area is very nice and quiet). There are plenty of food shops within walking distance, too. We enjoyed walking around Linz, visiting some of the interesting museums esp. the Ars Electronica and taking the tram up on the mountain that we could see from the balcony and enjoying the view from up there. Linz was not a city that we knew anything about before we came there, but it is very centrally located for trips to for example Salzburg and Vienna. As we had been to both before, we opted to go on outings into the Czech republic and to the beautiful lakes and mountains of the Salzkammergut area. Although Diana was a newbie exchanger, she understood the value of good communication and we had plenty of useful information, little videos etc. from her. Diana and Cornel very kindly let our American friends who happened to be holidaying not far from Linz come and stay with us for a couple of nights. Diana left us lots of food, drinks, cakes and other goodies, so we felt very welcome and highly recommend exchanging with this lovely couple.
