Leipzig is unique: here tradition meets dynamism, causal cosiness on high-tech business, classical culture on avant-garde. With us you will experience a cosmopolitan atmosphere and plenty of space for creativity and new ideas. Come to Leipzig, because everything is so close to here: cultural highlights for music and theater friends, shopping in modern department stores or in historical passages and courtyards, discoverable museums and galleries and, of course, legendary pubs. We are looking forward to your visit!
Not to forget:
the German beer! Here in Leipzig we have a real specialty: Gose - you have to taste it!

sehr nette Wohnung, super gelegen, nette Aussicht in den Innenhof. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen geheißen gefühlt mit Sekt und Süßigkeiten!
I would recommend this exchange with a few suggestions. First of all you have to be aware that you are in East Germany, they do not speak English. We got the feeling that there is a strong anti immigrant movement in Germany, “Germany is for Germans” is on much of the graffiti. Never go in the summer! It is hot and there is NO air conditioning in the apartment or any hotels, restaurants or museums. The apartment we exchanged with was clean and had all the amenities. The exchangers are well traveled and very good with planning and communication. Car was provided and worked with no problems. The apartment is small and compact but everything is new. Silke left great information and instructions for us. One of the best things about this apartment was the convience to the tram, and train station, also grocery store right around the corner. Would recommend this exchange is you want to enjoy a bit of East German culture.
Immaculate & interesting flat in excellent location for public transport.
Excellent exchange partner. Very comfortable home with good location. City was very interesting and pleasant. Thank you!

English:
We have 4 children and 6 grandchildren together.
Silke (66) is now also retired and Ralf (68) is still private.
He is a passionate angler.
We like to go out, enjoy the pescetarian food culture, meet with friends or attend events such as theaters and concerts. We move around in the fresh air, ride a bike, do sports, go swimming and go to the sauna. We are non-smokers and would like to ask you not to smoke in our apartment.
Surprise us, show us the beautiful spots of this world.
We also visit the cities of Europe for a weekend stay.
Sometimes we like to travel with either our 2 friends - if it’s possible. However, we can only offer 2 beds.

Manchmal reisen wir gerne mit unseren beiden Freunden – wenn es möglich ist. Allerdings können wir nur 2 Betten anbieten.
