If you are interested in learning about German life and culture, homestay is an excellent choice! Staying with a German host will provide many opportunities to practice your German. You can choose between bed and breakfast, or bed, breakfast and dinner (half board). All of our homestays are carefully chosen, visited and monitored to ensure your comfort. Many families have been hosting ALBA International students for years. Our homestays are located within a 10-20 minutes (maximum of 40 minutes) commute on public transportation ó which is typical for most Berlins. Public transportation in Berlin is generally safe and easy to find. Homestay accommodation is also an affordable choice and can be a very rewarding experience for hosts and students.
