General overview

It is spacious, cozy and flooded with light. Since the house has a south orientation, it is always bright and warm. We especially love our fireplace and the large garden with terrace and barbecue area.

The space

On the ground floor there is the living room with a cozy fireplace and balcony that leads to the garden. Adjacent is the open kitchen with a dining table that comfortably seats 8 people. All rooms face south and overlook the park-like garden. On the ground floor there is also a children's room with a loft bed for a guest, as well as our music room with a grand piano and all instruments. There is also a shower room with bidet. On the first floor there is a large south-facing bedroom with a block onto the garden and a suite bathroom with shower, bathtub and double sink, all renovated in 2024. Adjacent is a walk-in closet with office. There is also another children's room on the floor with a single bed and an additional pull-out single bed, as well as a craft and sewing room and a laundry room with a washing machine, dryer and another sink with toilet. On the attic floor there are two recently renovated (2021 and 2023) and spacious bedrooms equipped with 1.60 wide beds. There is also a third bathroom with a shower.

Guest access

The house can be reached from the street via a staircase with 7 steps. There are two additional, separately rented small residential units in the house.

Notes

We have two very pretty and absolutely lovely cats: Blacky and Lea are easy-going outdoor cats and would like to be fed and provided with fresh water while we are away. They are happy to be petted! Our music salon should only be used by music lovers who appreciate the value and sensitivity of the instruments. It is not a children's playroom and should only ever be used by children under adult supervision. Thank you!

Neighbourhood

Our house is located on a quiet and beautiful street that ends in a dead end. Therefore, hardly any cars drive past our house and children can play in the street. There is a parking space next to our house. Within a few minutes' walk you can reach the historic town center with our historical landmark of the city, with all shops for daily needs, restaurants, Böcker and ice cream parlor. Kindergarten, primary and secondary schools are also all within walking distance. Public transport connections are also very close, you can reach Cologne city center within 30 minutes minutes. If you want to go for a walk on the field paths or in the forest, you can be in the middle of nature in just a few minutes. The same applies to cyclists. Culture and city lovers have the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf and Bonn in the immediate vicinity. The neighborhood prison is safe, quiet and clean even in the evenings.

Getting to my home

If you come by plane, you land in Düsseldorf or Cologne/Bonn. Then take the train to the Park and Ride car park, from where another bus stops right in front of our street after just one bus stop. It's easy to take the train to Cologne main station and from there it's just a 30-minute train and bus ride to our front door. We can also be easily reached by car via the A1, A4 and A3 to Kreuz Köln West.

Nearest airport

By bus and train you can reach Düsseldorf or Cologne/Bonn airport within 50 minutes

Getting around

Everything can be reached on foot within a few minutes. At the same time, our street is absolutely quiet - a real jack-of-all-trades!

Hanna

Hi! We are a family with five children Augen 10-20 years and two cats. We live in a wonderful home close to Cologne in Germany. The house is in a quiet area with a big garden and a cozy fireplace inside and outside on the terrace. We love to travel. Also, we love to explore foreign countries so our children can learn foreign languages. Therefore we are interested not only in short-term home exchange but also in long term exchange for 3-12 months (something like a school exchange, except that the whole family can participate and younger children can this be accompanied by their parents in the foreign country and school system) We have done a few house exchanges already with friends and we have been Hosts to exchange students from all over the world for many years now!
