Frequently asked

Can I bring a partner or family?

Sometimes, depending on capacity and programme. Ask us.

Is it suitable for remote work?

Yes, we have reliable wifi. But we encourage disconnection if your work allows.

Do I need to speak BCS?

No. English and German work fine. But a few words are always appreciated.

Can I come in winter?

Yes, but the house is heated with wood. It's cozy, but you help keep the fire going.
