> Dear Keith,

> my name is Astrid Koeppe, I am a Berlin-based artist and planning to
> spend some time in London this year.

> The facts from my side are these: I would like to go to London around
> June this year. A few weeks up to a few month. Whatever
> might be available. I think I would be interested in a stay later
> this year as well, October and November maybe (in August and
> September I should rather be here, as I have show coming up then).
>
> But as I am unfortunately not rich and famous yet, I can't possibly
> afford a normal rent in London on top of my Berlin costs. What I
> could offer instead is a flat swap: lovely and very quiet 66
> squaremeters in Berlin Kreuzberg, between a park (Hasenheide) and the
> canal (Landwehrkanal). The flat has 2 big rooms, small kitchen and
> small bathroom, wooden floor, a balcony (which faces south and has a
> garden view), Internet-flatrate and is located close to Hermannplatz (
> just a 5 minutes walk to public transport).
>
> In London I would actually just need bed, table and chair (as I would
> like to bring my work - paper and pencils, that is). Room could be
> tiny, I would share kitchen + bathroom (but 'd rather not like to
> stay in somebody's kitchen in a sleeping bag, as this is no fun for
> either side). Around Islington would be perfect, but anything
> reasonably central would make me happy.
>
> Maybe there is a London-based artist interested in staying in Berlin
> for a while?
>
> So I would really appreciate it if you had an idea or advice for me.
> hope to hear from you + best wishes from Berlin,
> Astrid
