old renovated cosy house in Dresden, East Germany, with big garden, quite, green and central location
Our home is situated just 10 minutes walk of the centre of Dresden, well known for its many visitor attractions like the cathedral „Frauenkirche“, the "Semperoper" (Opera) and all kind of museums. On the way there is a conservation area, the baroque quarter with an excellent range of restaurants. Alternatively you can amuse yourself in the scene quarter „Neustadt“ with all kind of little shops, cafes and bars.
Our house has been built in 1830, we bought and restored it completely 19 years ago. The garden ist surrounded by a historical wall of sandstone, there is a lawn with playing field, a huge trampoline, sanding area, table tennis. We offer bikes to explore the region.
There are two bedrooms upstairs, which were the kid´s rooms. Both have a nice balcony. A third bedroom is situated is in the attic. The bathroom with tab is located on the first floor, additionaly a bathroom with shower on the ground floor. The dining and living room as well as the kitchen open out to the terrace (facing south) and the very peaceful garden.
On the same ground there is another house with 3 helpful and nice families living in, with which we raised our children the last 20 years.
Our place is an easy starting point for discovering Dresden by walking or cycling. If you like a mixture of cultural live and nature, its the right place to be.

NL0059Wij hebbenhet genoegen gehad om een woningruil te doen met een fantastisch gezin uit Dresden en ik kan niet genoeg goede dingen zeggen over onze ervaring. Vanaf het eerste moment van communicatie voelden we al een zekere 'klik' met deze ontspannen en vriendelijke mensen. De communicatie was zeer aangenaam en gemakkelijk, wat de hele uitwisseling zeer aangenaam maakte.
Bij aankomst in hun prachtige huis, voelden wij ons meteen heel welkom. Het huis was nog mooier dan we ons hadden voorgesteld - met een prachtige en eenvoudige, maar stijlvolle inrichting en vele persoonlijke accenten die het huis echt als een thuis lieten voelen. De tuin was een oase van rust en we hebben genoten van het buitenleven in de zon.
Het was duidelijk dat deze mensen hun uiterste best hadden gedaan om ons thuis te laten voelen en ons te voorzien van alles wat we nodig hadden. We waardeerden hun gastvrijheid enorm en voelden ons meer dan welkom in hun huis.
Ik wil ook benadrukken dat de woning in een geweldige buurt lag met veel mogelijkheden voor activiteiten en bezienswaardigheden. Het was een geweldige locatie voor ons gezin en we hebben optimaal gebruik gemaakt van de omgeving en de vele bezienswaardigheden die Dresden te bieden heeft.
Ik kan deze woningruil ten zeerste aanbevelen aan iedereen die op zoek is naar een onvergetelijke ervaring en een plek om te ontspannen en te genieten van het leven. Deze woningruil met deze geweldige mensen uit Dresden was voor ons een absoluut hoogtepunt en we zullen deze ervaring nooit vergeten.
