Description
We are a couple living in a House close to Hannover. We would like to give young travelers from all over the World a Place to stay.
We have a small dog and need someone to look after Abby. Sometimes I need a little help in the house and in the garden.
It would be great to have someone teaching me spanish.
Our girls are living in Hannover and Hameln.
You should have a Healthinsurance during the stay with us.
Looking forward to meet you :)

I waited too long to write this note, but I am finally doing it.

As I reflect on the amazing time I had with the Alter's, I certainly feel butterflies in my stomach and a healthy dose of nostalgia. They are great hosts and truly valuable individuals, but, above all, they are a beautiful family!!… read more
