We are Eoin and Anika - married, with two adult dogs and two adult kids/stepkids. We are filmmakers for fiction films - directors and screenwriters - and do live one hour from Berlin in a beautiful landscape close to the polish border. Here we recultivate a fairly big plot as a permaculture project (life time project :). The Berlin Apartment is our city base, always easy and lovely to have - for spontaneous visits, but also for longer work periods.

Our Home For Exchange

The sunny apartment is about 55 square meters in size and is fully furnished with a natural and cosy style. In the bathroom you´ll find a shower / bathtub. In the livingroom you'll find a sofa, a master bed and chill out area on a lofty platform, which is also a double bed. In the cosy and spacious kitchen you can be slouched on another sofa, while someone else is cooking for you. The hallway itself is somewhat of a room, with bookshelf and a folding guest bed.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The apartment is located in the green city centre of Berlin-Kreuzberg, on a beautiful lush avenue which was formerly a canal. I always love the contrast between outdoors (culturally diverse, pulsating Kreuzberg) and indoors (cosy, quiet, with birds singing).The apartment is situated in a courtyard building of a beautiful GRÜNDERZEITHAUS, a building from the end of the 19th century, which has been elaborately restored. Shops, Restaurants, Bars and Cinemas are just around the corner. Easy access to public transport. Two tube stations are 5 minutes walk away (U8, U1) and two bus-lines are directly nearby.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
What to do first, that's the question! Step out of the apartment and explore the cult neighborhood of ORANIENSTRASSE for Turkish cafés, bohemien restaurants, hip cocktail bars and cool pop-up stores . Other quarters also invite you to walk around KREUZBERG: the charming neighborhood of BERGMANNSTRASSE, the bubbly party section of SCHLESISCHES TOR or the cosy streets of GRAEFESTRASSE. Enjoy sunny walks by the canal or alongside the former BERLIN WALL. Or chill in one of several green parks. If you're into culture and art - check out the WALL MUSEUM, the JEWISH MUSEUM or the great ART EXHIBITIONS. If your bored with KREUZBERG, you only have the rest of the capitol to discover!

Since we renewed all sanitary facilities and electrics, bought a new dishwasher, threw out unnecessary stuff and rearranged furniture, it should be very easy for you to keep the apartment in good state.
