People Like Us Local Guide
I love meeting new people and travellers: a coffee or a drink is always a good idea! Reach out if you‘re interested in meeting a native Berlin inhabitant (even being born in the former East Germany) :-)
Eva's home was a great spot and so spacious, clean and well stocked for us. We were lucky to get to meet Eva and her son in person when we arrived -- I felt like I already knew her from our Zoom call. We were joined by our adult son and his family -- including a one year old -- and Eva graciously borrowed a baby crib for our use during the stay. Her home is a quick trip into Berlin by train and we enjoyed exploring the city and then coming home to relax in the evenings. We look forward to welcoming Eva to the US when she is ready to visit. Thank you again Eva for this wonderful exchange opportunity and the lovely gift!
We had a truly wonderful stay at Eva’s home in Berlin! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and completely at ease. The house itself is charming, spacious, and full of personality—clearly loved and well cared for. But what made it especially memorable was the beautiful garden.
Tucked away behind the house, Eva’s garden is like a private oasis in the city. Lush, peaceful, and full of blooming flowers, it quickly became our favorite spot to relax with coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. There’s a comfortable outdoor seating area and even space for kids to play or for quiet reading under the trees.
The neighborhood is quiet yet well-connected, with shops, cafés, and public transport just a short walk away. It was easy to explore Berlin from here, and we loved coming “home” to such a calm and green environment after a day in the city.
Eva was a fantastic host—thoughtful, organized, and always available for questions. We truly appreciated her hospitality and the care she took in preparing her home for our stay.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Berlin with the comfort of a real home and the rare luxury of a garden retreat!
Thanks for your great feedback - I‘m so happy that you enjoyed your stay so much!
All the best to you and happy home exchanging! :-)
We had a great time at Eva’s place in Berlin.
She made us feel welcome and really made everything possible to meet our needs, even very last minute schedule changes :)
The house is great with a wonderful garden that the kids loved.
Eva is a wonderful host! She helped us a lot with the information she provided about Berlin. Her house is very comfortable and located in a beautiful neighborhood! It's very close to public transportation to get to Berlin. Berlin is cosmopolitan, and it's surprising to see so many places steeped in history. Totally recommend!
We had an amazing time at Eva’s family home! This is the home Eva grew up in and she doesn’t live there full time. Eva was so gracious. She met us when we came to make sure to answer any of our questions. She had stocked the fridge with some basic necessities and even got us a picture of Berlin! Her home was lovely- three bedrooms! A sofa in the living room and huge tvs! The nespresso machine and washing machine were an added plus. The backyard was fabulous . It was about a 15 minute walk to the train station which took you to central Berlin in 22 minutes. Thank you Eva!! Everything was Lovely!
We had a wonderful stay in Eva’s cozy and beautiful home! It is such a nice house, garden and a quiet area but well connected to central Berlin. Communication was smooth and easy with Eva all the way and we felt very welcome :) Berlin is such a fantastic city and we were lucky to experience beautiful fall weather with sun all week! We especially enjoyed a day at Tierpark Berlin, very close to Eva’s home. Thank you for a great stay!
We felt so cozy and happy at your house, Eva! Thank you! <3
The house has everything and person or family could need and then some. We didn't lack for a single thing.
We had plenty of cozy spots and beds, plenty of towels, blankets and kitchen supplies. The washer and dryer was a huge bonus.
The best part was the HUGE backyard. We spent most of our time out there. Our kids were in heaven playing and running!
We had picnics and played with the water guns Eva generously shared.
We ran through the sprinkler a million times!
We got to pick apples right off the tree!! They were delicious!
The house is in a beautiful neighborhood with some of the most beautiful gardens! We had to stop every few houses to sniff the flowers and admire the plants.
We had a beautiful time skateboarding around the neighborhood.
There are several grocery stores nearby.
Thank you so much, Eva!
Eva's home in Friedrichsfelde, just outside of central Berlin, is really great - especially for families. Each of my two kids had their own room. The beds were very comfortable, and the living room is spacious and perfect for relaxing after a long day. We were there in the summer, so we spent a lot of time in the yard, enjoying quiet evenings and watching the kids playing games and running through the sprinklers.
From the house, it's a bit over 10 min to walk to the Sbahn, and from the station, you can get into Berlin in 30+ minutes, depending on where you're going. Berlin is huge, but we were able to get to just about every corner within an hour. Grocery stores are a short walk away. All in all, this was a great exchange and we definitely recommend it!
Dear Eva,
Thank you because your home allowed us to discover Berlin in a unique manner. From the moment we arrived, you went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. You kindly provided a travel crib and a stroller for one of our little ones, and welcomed us with a lovely gift. Your warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home.
Your house is super comfy, and the piano adds a special touch to the space; we even enjoyed playing it during our stay. The idyllic backyard is a highlight for us, perfect for playing water games and hosting a barbecue to celebrate Pau’s first birthday.
The neighborhood is also beautiful, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still being well-connected to the center of Berlin. We enjoyed exploring the surroundings and taking in all the local charm.
Our experience was fantastic, and your home perfect for a memorable stay in Berlin.
Thank you and hope to meet you again in the future 💛
We absolutely loved our visit in Berlin at Eva’s place. She went the extra effort to add an additional bed to accommodate our 5-person family. Lovely food and treats stocked in the kitchen, which was very much appreciated given our unexpected late night arrival where grocery stores were already closed. She showed us around the house upon our arrival and helped to keep our departure very simple. Everything was clean and it was the perfect space for our family. It’s a great location for hopping on the train to go see the sights of Berlin.
Would love to come back again one day! Thanks Eva!
Thanks so much for your feedback - it was lovely to have you as my first guests after a couple of years of not exchanging… I‘m so happy that you enjoyed your stay. All the best and we are looking forward to returning the visit and staying at your place! :-)
It was great to have Eva as a guest. She took very good care of the apartment and left it flawless. We are looking forward to visiting Berlin next year and would be happy to welcome Eva back to Vienna at any time.
Eva and her son stayed in my place in Paris, they left the flat nest and tidy, communication was excellent, we were in contact all along.
Thanks again Eva!
Eva took great care of our home and was in frequent contact. From the beginning to the end, this was a great exchange and I highly recommend exchanging with her family.
Great, stylish and comfortable apartment in a residential area of Madrid. Public transportation worked very well, we felt at home and supermarkets etc. were close by. We loved our stay and the great hospitality of Carlos & Leandros who made us feel welcome the very minute we entered the apartment! Highly recommended! :-)
Stephanie and her family were great guests. Our communication was smooth and enjoyable from the very beginning and I‘m so glad that they had a wonderful time both in Berlin and at my place. They got to enjoy the Berlin Festival of Lights which Stephanie and her family liked very much. They left my house spotlessly clean and I would not hesitate to host them again. Happy exchanging, Stephanie, and we are already looking forward to returning the visit to your place in the US! All the best!
Vienna is soooo beautiful! We truly enjoyed our time there and our stay in the wonderful apartment of Magda & Flo: ideally located to combine a green surrounding and the tranquility close to Schönbrunn with the proximity to the city, and with all the comfort! We loved every minute and would love to return :-)
Thanks for exchanging with us - we are looking forward to welcoming you in Berlin next year!
Carlos and Leandros were great guests and very friendly people with a good sense of communication and humour! I am happy that they enjoyed their time in Berlin in general and especially at my place!
I can thoroughly recommend Carlos and Leandros to anyone as guests, they treated my property very well and left the house impeccably clean! Thank you so much, Carlos & Leandros!
Sara‘s apartment is lovely, spacious and centrally located - we could walk to the Tour d‘Eiffel within 20 minutes and the metro station was so close and conveniently to be reached. The beds were comfortable and the living room was inviting, too - we enjoyed every minute of our stay! We couldn‘t have been happier with our exchange!
Thanks, Sara, for having us and all the best for your future exchanges! :-)
Sara and her friend were very easy to communicate with, it was great to meet them in person in Berlin! They left my home in a great condition and absolutely clean! I would definitely exchange homes again with Sara, I truely loved our stay in Paris :-)
I enjoyed having Ana and her travel group (party of 5) staying at my place in June 2025. I‘m happy that they had a great stay and can recommend having them as guests. Everything worked out well.
All the best, Ana, and happy exchanging ;-)
Moriah and her family were lovely guests and left my house as they found it. It was great to have them and I wish them lots of wonderful exchanges! ;-)
If I happen to travel to California or Argentina I will be happy to contact you! All the best from Berlin, Eva.
Thank you Eva! We loved your home! Would love to have you at ours!
Nina and her family were perfect guests and took such good care of my house and left everything immaculately clean - thanks a lot for staying at my place and for the wine and chocolate you left, too :-)
I‘m so happy that you enjoyed your time in Berlin and also managed to experience the „Festival of Lights“ which takes place each year in late September / early October!
If you ever want to return I‘ll be more than happy to accommodate you! And I will let you know when I‘m in Copenhagen for lunch or coffee together… all the best to Nina and her family!
This is why I love PEOPLE LIKE US!
Allison and her family were lovely guests. It feels awesome to know that they thoroughly enjoyed their time at my place! They left everything tidy and clean and were easy and pleasant to communicate with. We are looking forward already to going to Costa Rica somewhen in the future!
All the best, safe travels and happy exchanging! :-)
We felt welcomed and at home the minute we entered apartment of Vicki and her family. We liked the location in Gaia on the south side of the Douro river with a bus station in front of the complex, a café just on the other side of the road and a private and green courtyard. The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable and offers 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room and a kitchen with a dining area as well as two balconies/terraces. Uber was not expensive at all to get us to all the interesting places in Porto, Matinhos, Foz, Espinho etc. but the public transport worked very well, too.
We would not hesitate to come back to Vicki’s apartment - thanks for having us stay at your lovely place!
Vicki and her family stayed in my house in Berlin for 2 and a half weeks in August 2024. I’m so happy that they liked it and especially loved the outdoor area in my garden. They left my house clean and tidy – I would not hesitate to welcome Vicki and her family again at my place! It was a lovely exchange and a very smooth conversation before, in between and afterwards. All the best for you & Your family, Vicki, and happy exchanging!
Lucia and her family are great exchangers. Our communication was very smooth from Day 1 and they sincerely appreciated that I organised a travel cot as well as a stroller for their young family. Furthermore they left my house immaculately clean and I especially loved that they really enjoyed their time at my place, and in Berlin as a city, too.
If you wish to return one day please let me know :-)
All the best and thanks for being part of PLU, I totally love the community in general and that you were here in Berlin at my place!
Given the fact that this was our first exchange for more than 6 years i was very excited before but Constance and her lovely family were perfect first guests! With three teenage children I assumed it would be great to have an extra bed in the living room in order for each of them to have some privacy, too :-)
The Kam family left my home in a very clean and tidy way and I had the impression they liked their stay at my place! Thanks a lot again for the lovely presents you left for me!
We are looking forward to travelling to Canada asap - may be in summer 25 or summer 26? Please do let me know should you return to Berlin :-)

Hi and welcome to Berlin!
I‘m Eva and in 2024, with PLU, we had 5 sim/ non-sim/ globe exchanges already. Prior to that we had 12 very successful and pleasant simultaneous home exchanges within Europe and the United States (via different exchange sites) in the pre-pandemic era. We loved all of them!
For me home exchanging is the ultimate way of going on a holiday as it always feels like a little adventure and we never really feel like tourists… I love this part of connecting to the locals and getting an impression of their daily lives!
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
In my kitchen: fridge and freezer, induction stove and oven as well as a number of other minor appliances (toaster, mixer, blender etc.): ready to use, set up a meal and enjoy it on the terrace!
My living room… I hope you will feel comfortable!
The dining table in the living room sits 8 but can be extended to sit at least 10 people.
Sofa and TV: let‘s chill :-)
Comfy sofachair that transforms to an extra bed…
Master bed room 160x200.
Office & guest room, sleeps 2 (or one very comfortably).
Guest room
It‘s the same sofabed as in the office and it can sleep up to two people (or one person very comfortably).
