Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our apartment is the top two floors of a four-story building (about 140 m2), plus a private roof deck and a lower balcony. It’s very open and gets lots of light. We live on a quiet street, but close to local stores and two different subway lines. The NYC bike-share system has a station one block away from our home.
We live in a beautiful, intellectual neighborhood in Brooklyn, with good restaurants, bookstores, music, etc. Next to a major park (see map), it's the home neighborhood of New York City's previous mayor. About 20 minutes by subway from Manhattan.
We've made 16 exchanges in Paris since 2011, and three more in other cities. All our exchange partners have taken good care of our home, and we have done the same for theirs. Nous parlons français (mais avec des erreurs), hablemos español (con errores) también.

Notre appartement se trouve dans une rue calme, mais très proche aux commerces locaux et deux lignes du subway. Nous avons les deux étages supérieurs (environ 180 m2), plus un toit-terrasse. L'appartement profite d’un agencement très ouvert, avec beaucoup de lumière naturelle. Nous vivons dans un beau quartier intellectuel, avec de bons restaurants, librairies, etc. C'est à Brooklyn, très proche d’un grand parc et 20 minutes de Manhattan par le subway. (Le maire précédent de New York habite ici.)
Nous avons fait 16 échanges à Paris depuis 2011 (et 3 autres, aux États-Unis et en Italie), et nous aimons ce mode de voyager. Tous nos partenaires d’échange ont pris soin avec notre appart, même comme nous avec les siens.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our street is quiet, but very near a local commercial street, where you can find good restaurants, cafés, bookstores, grocery stores, bakeries, & more. We are 5 minutes' walk from the largest park in Brooklyn, Prospect Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux (who also designed NYC's Central Park).
