Matt is a super host - he'll help you feel right at home with the other guests, present and past, and even with his own friends and family, who stop by to share a coffee, meal or a glass of champagne by the pool or fire. The house is adorably whimsical and the garden like no other in the neighborhood - it's a place to breathe fresh air and relax. I have been at Matt's homestay for over two months, and now that I'm working in the city center, find it a lovely escape at the end of the day.

Mat is an incredible homestay host! He is so fun to be around, extremely helpful in correcting my German and is really welcoming to have his guests into his life. The area is super peaceful and beautiful, to ride to the station even in the cold of winter!
I had some small complications with travel back from the city in the evening, so a tip would be to travel back to the house before 7pm for the easiest and quickest route home.February 2022
It was such a lovely stay! Super friendly and nice host. The house was neat and comfortable, and in a quiet location.

Greatest host in my life! Mat always try his best to help me to settle down in Germany and he is super nice to chat with. During my stay in his house, I feel really comfortable staying in a quiet and chill environment. I would suggest anyone who want to visit Berlin to stay few days with Mat.

This stay was for me an awesome experience! If you have the chance to be a guest you will be part of the family. You will enjoy going outside, discover Berlin, and have homemade meals. For me this was the most immersive experience I had in Germany. It also the occasion to meet guests from other countries and make friends.
For the German language Mat will help you to practice and to learn German better than anyone else.
Once again, thank for this!---
J'ai passé un séjour extraordinaire chez Mat ! Si vous avez la chance de venir chez lui, vous ferez partie de la famille, vous pourrez faire des sorties, visiter Berlin, et manger d'excellents repas cuisinés maison le tout dans un environnement totalement berlinois. C'est aussi l'occasion de rencontrer des invités venant d'autres pays !
Mat vous aidera à bien parler et apprendre l'allemand mieux que quiconque.
Merci encore !---
Dieser Aufenthalt war für mich ein besonderes Erlebnis! Wenn Sie die Chance haben, ein Gast zu sein, werden Sie ein Familienmitglied sein. Ich habe es genossen, Abend ausgehen, Berlin entdecken, und hausgemachte Mahlzeiten haben. es war das beste immersives Erlebnis in Deutschland. Sie können auch Gäste aus anderen Ländern kennenzulernen und Freunden zu machen.
Für die deutsche Sprache Mat hilft ihnen, Deutsch zu üben und lernen besser als jeder andere.
Vielen Dank noch einmal!November 2016

I had stayed his house for 2weeks.
I felt that his house and gardens are so beautiful and I was able to felt comfortable, just like being with my family and being in my home town.
Now, over 2weeks has past, since I left their family. And I miss there.
