House in Brooklyn near subway and parks
House in the heart of Brooklyn, near Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery.
Walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, and the subway.
We live in a two-family house on a quiet, tree-lined street, with a very nice tenant living upstairs. Our and our daughter's bedrooms are downstairs in the finished basement. The main level has an eat-in kitchen, living room, play/craft room, and... second living room. Both living rooms have a pull-out couch or futon, meaning in a pinch, there are four beds. Each floor has a bathroom. In the back, we have a bricked yard & garden, with a grill, pergola, and inflatable hot tub.
We have several bikes available to use (including a tandem), but no car (you don't need one in NYC). We have lots of Legos and kids' books.

Honolulu, USA
US1012682A lovely house with garden and two very sweet cats. Quiet location in a safe area of Brooklyn with great connection to New York City by bus and subway. The swap was what we wished for and Nathan was always available for questions. The family took great care of the house, car and my cat Pua.
