There are plenty of toys for children under 5, including: Lego, dolls, cars, books, games, a bike, a tricycle, a scooter, craft materials, and an inflatable paddling pool for little ones to use on the balcony. We also have lots of board games, books, and comics for older kids and teenagers. This residence is also perfect for parents with babies or toddlers: we provide a baby bath, baby monitor, high chairs, changing table, and children’s utensils. There are 2 parks nearby with playgrounds (at both ends of the street), one of which has a sand pit, as well as a free outdoor swimming pool (during the summer months) and tennis courts just a few minutes away.

Notes

Please note that we prefer to exchange with a family who has children of the same age as our daughter/ baby, in order to have some games/travel cot available during our stay :-). We also have a preference to do an exchange in a city (or close to a city). There is natural wood flooring throughout the apartment (unglazed), so please no water or any liquids on it. Simply take care of our apartment as if it were your own. We will of course do the same on our side. :-)
