We love our neighborhood! Having been here for five years we still experience the thrill of being here!Walking distance to almost all cultural attractions: Museum Island, synogogue on oranienburgerstrasse, Unter den Linden, Brandenburg Gate, Tiergarten, The Reichstag, Fernsehturm and Alexander Platz, Staatsoper, Konzerthaus and Philharmonie, Berliner Ensemble, Volkbuhne, galleries, galleries, etc!
The Scheunenviertel is one of the oldest and most beautiful parts of Berlin. It also serves as the location for Berlin's contemporary arts scene and is packed with fashionable boutiques, restaurants and cafes.
Our building has it's own entrance to a wonderful park, a real rarity in Berlin and particularly good for anyone with children .
The list of highlights is actually huge but further attractions on the doorstep are Monbijou park, and the children's open air pool ,openair theatres and bars.you can also take a boat up the river ..
.Clârchens Ballhaus is another favourite in Auguststrasse. There is so much more so please ask us! We are very happy to answer any questions.

We are two musicians (English and Australian) with two small boys (3 and 6). We will be passing through New York on the way back from Montreal this July and would love to find an exchange for a week. We have already exchanged in Australia,the UK and,coming up in Canada and have so far found the experience really rewarding.
Mountains,lakes, the Sea and interesting cities all appeal to us. Although we are great at getting around without a car (we have never driven) we can't go too wild without public transport or a bike (our feet do serve us well though..)
