Details
Description
Having a big, friendly, open house with separate guest room and own bath. The kids are grown up by now but check in from time to time.
It is a quiet living area but only 10min on the bicycle from Friedrichshain/Kreuzberg humming life away.
So, you can pile out in your free time and explore the greats of Berlin.
I do have a schedule on working days you'll have to align to, please.
Most time I work from my house where I have some extra office space in the basement next to the guest room.
One important thing - I do not like lazy people who try to take advantage of others. So, if you are one of these - just do not write to me and waste my time reading your message...

Cutting back the big Thuja hedge was a tough job he mastered very responsible.
He learned to use an electric chissel in a short time and removed some square meters of old wall plaster well and safe.
I would always take him back to help. Big recommendation - he is… read more
He did a lot of reconstruction demolition work and some garden tasks.
I think he could enjoy Berlin a lot, using the bicycle I provided.
I wish him the best and he is always welcome to come back to visit.
No more to say.
They are respectful, good fun and open minded people, eager to get to know the world.
We will see again one day, I am sure of that.
Good luck on all your ways !

She helped me with everything I asked her for and I can recommend her to anyone else.
Gracias Kenya !
She is all friendly, warm hearted, reliable and communicative. And she is definitely not that type of person who looks away if there is something what needs to get done and I would always host her again at any time.
Thank you for all the good moments with you Yessi !
I would always host the two again and can warmly recommend them.

editing videos for my youtube channel. She ended up staying for almost a month,
given lockdown in Berlin. She is very friendly and outgoing, definitely a good
person to have around.
She was supposed to stay and help for 1-2 weeks but it became like two and a half months finally.
I will always appreciate all the help she provided and can warmly recommend anyone here hosting her.
We had nice tea times talking about life, the universe and everything (42 ;o), so I could learn a lot about Hong Kong and what is going on there at the moment.
I can warmly recommend to host her, she is such a friendly and warm hearted person.
The working tasks I asked them were not that much to do, just some cleaning in the house and a hedge to cut and a little furniture moving. All together not much more then a total of 4-5hours during their stay, so they had plenty of time to get to know the town and take care of their own… read more

They helped me a lot and no task was to boring or labourious for them and they were pretty much self organised and willing to do their best !
We went out together some nights what was big fun and I do hope I could make them feel a bit home and… read more
He showed me Berlin and thanks to him I went to places that otherwise would not have gone, plus, he helped me with my language skills

I can only recommend to host him and already offered him to come back to my house in fall.
Best wishes on all your ways, see you again :o) !
All the best to him too!

He was an uncomplicated house mate and it was fun to work with him and spend some free time as well.
All the best to him and good luck on all ways !
