The apartment is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. Joachim and Alexandra were always prompt in responding and their neighbours are lovely too. It’s about 40-70 minutes by public transport from the center of Berlin, which is ok because even when you stay in the center of Berlin you must count 20-45 minutes for transportation. The atmosphere is chill. It’s not luxury but very very enjoyable. Would recommend!
Our stay in Berlin was great. Alexandra & Joachim’s apartment was in a quiet residential area outside the city. Their neighbor greeted us and showed us around the apartment. When we wanted to go into Berlin it was a short bus ride to the metro and then into the city. It is a perfect place if you don’t mind not being right in the city.
We had a lovely stay at Alex and Jo's cozy apartment in North Berlin. It's a bit far from the center/main touristy areas, but public transportation in Berlin is excellent. This was we were able to see how the locals live in Berlin. It was within walking distance to Tegler See (a large lake in N. Berlin), which ended up being one of our favorite things to do.
Communication was great and we look forward to hosting Alex and Jo in December.
It was a pleasure hosting Alexandra & Joachim here in Porto. We arrived home and found a few gifts from them on the kitchen table. Everything was left neat and tidy in our apartment just like we left it. Hope they had an enjoyable time here in the city. Would definitely host them again!
Lynda & Robb
We spent 8 days in Roemer's apartment which is only a 15-minute walk from the historic center. Thus located, we were able to visit everything on foot which made our stay even more pleasant.
It was very clean and very functional. At the foot of his building, there is even a bakery, a bar with a terrace and a pizzeria!
In addition, Roemer was always available to provide us with information whenever we needed it.
We loved this exchange and we highly recommend it!

Thanks to Tara, we were able to participate in our first house exchange. He is a person of very good advice and help whenever we needed it.
To stay in your apartment, you have to take the ferry then the tram (3 stations) then walk a little. The apartment is very clean and ready to welcome you!
To recommend without hesitation.
A big thankyou for everything !
