Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Fantastic location. Two very close subway stops (125th stop with lines A, C, D, B and 116th street with lines 1, 2, 3). You can take the express train and be in Times Square in 20 minutes, Washington Square in 30, or Brooklyn in 40. We’re right in front of the beautiful Morningside, with Central Park being at a 10-minute walk. Don’t forget to visit the Columbia University campus and the impressive St. John the Divine Cathedral, both of which are extremely close to our home.
Morningside Heights is a very safe and convenient area. There is one supermarket around the corner and multiple others at a 5-minute walk, pharmacies, banks, and other convenience stores. There are excellent and cheap restaurants around this area, including famous chains (Shake Shack, McDonalds), American food, and fantastic international food (Mexican, Indian, African, Chinese, Thai, Hungarian, …).

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We would like to find the house clean and organized. No need to put the sheets on the bed when you leave the house. It would be great if you could water our plant every 2-3 days.
