Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our art filled 1 bedroom apt in charming Greenpoint has all the amenities- washer/dryer, dishwasher, balcony, elevator and amazing roof deck with sweeping views of Manhattan. Getting into Manhattan is easy, we're one block away from the G train which will take you uptown with a transfer to the E or M train, a 15 minute walk to the 7 train which will take you to Grand Central Station in 1 stop, a 20 minute walk to the L train which will take you downtown or just hop on the ferry which is 3 blocks away. But you don't even have to leave Brooklyn. Our apt is steps to everything, waterfront parks, grocery stores, amazing restaurants, bars and boutiques. When you're done exploring Greenpoint, take a 20 minute walk to Williamsburg for even more of the same. The apt has 1 bedroom with a convertible sofa that sleeps 2

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Greenpoint Brooklyn was a working class Polish neighborhood until the early 2000s when the artists and hipsters moved in, now it's one of the hottest neighborhoods in the hottest borough in NYC. There are fantastic restaurants and shops just steps from the apt. Transmitter Park is a lovely waterfront park just 2 blocks away with a pier out into the East River that has fantastic views of the Manhattan skyline. It's an easy walk to Long Island City Queens where you can check out MOMA PS1 and another fantastic waterfront park or head the other direction to Williamsburg and eat your way through Smorgasburg or shop Brooklyn Flea on a summer weekend. There are so many shopping, dining, entertainment choices in the area you may not even want to venture into Manhattan!

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We ascribe to the golden rule. Leave the apt as you found it. Don't steal anything. If you break something let us know. Don't stomp on the floor (our downstairs neighbor is hyper sensitive). Smoke only on the balcony. Just basically be cool.
