See www.nycexchange.weebly.com for full details. This apartment is a 2 bedroom walk-up (no elevator) on the 3rd floor (2 flights up) of a modest house in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (20-30 minutes from Manhattan by subway). Although it's important to stress that the apartment is not a luxury condo and has not been newly renovated, it is safe, clean, and relatively large by New York standards. It features a large, sunny eat-in kitchen, hardwood floors, molding, exposed brick, and tin ceilings. The railroad layout (all rooms in a row) makes it ideal for couples or close friends: one of the bedrooms is being used as a large office/second living room and contains a futon. It is separated from the bedroom by French doors. The apartment is best suited for 2 people but can accommodate up to 5 (2 people sharing the bed, 2 people on the futon, and one person on the couch). There is access to 2 DVD players and 2 TVs with cable, one air conditioning unit, and wireless internet.
What I'm Looking For :
A comparable home almost anywhere in the world (especially Brazil, South Africa, New Zealand, Italy, or Croatia), preferably in or within a 2-hour commute from a major city.
