We had a wonderful stay at Kasia's home! They are such a lovely family and we are so glad this non-simultaneous exchange could work out. Kasia's home is quite spacious and comfortable, with all modern amenities. On top it is the last floor so extremely quiet, which was well appreciated by these Parisians! The location is great, just a few minutes to two metro lines and 30-45 minutes to most Berlin attractions. We had a very fluid and easy communication with the family throughout there stay (including their help when our daughter was ill). We love Berlin and were very grateful to have this opportunity to come during the Christmas and New Years holidays. Thanks so much Kasia and family for this pleasant exchange experience. -
Dear Hannah and Cédric, thank you very much for your review. We also loved to have you as our guests.

Hello, we are a family of four from Berlin, Germany, a data scientist (Kasia) and a software developer (Bartek), both in our forties, with two children: Kora, 10, and Emil, 11 yo.
We used to exchange a lot on Couchsurfing in the past, before we had kids, mostly as hosts, but also as guests, and now we are back in the game.
Due to the school age of our children, the availability of our apartment for simultaneous and non-simultaneous exchanges is limited to the school- and public holidays in Berlin. Otherwise we might be able to offer you a couch for a shorter stay while we are at home (in that case our capacity is smaller, optimally max 2 guests who can share one bed).
We can also exchange simultaneously on weekends.
We are open to any destination with a slight preference for places where we can get (and get around) without a car. We would also gladly visit locations less or not at all popular among tourists.
So if you fancy a stay in a big and comfortable apartment in a very safe area in Berlin, Germany, feel free to contact us and let's talk.
