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.

The house is in a great location, and is as described on the site. Brunhild was very helpful for any questions that came up. She took great care of our house (and our cats) while we were out.

Rachael & Nathan have lived in New York City for about 15 years, and Lillian (8) her whole life. We have been in this house for about three years. We enjoy the car-free lifestyle in the city, but also hikes and nature. (As such, trips to Europe with its excellent transit are always high on our list.)
Nathan has participated in two Intervac home exchanges with his parents as a child (to Belgium and to Bristol, England), and they have been active hosts with the Couchsurfing community.
We have two cats -- Skimbleshanks and Gambler -- and it would be great to arrange a swap where they could be fed.
