There are many cafes, restaurants, grocery/gourmet stores, fashion/homegoods shops, and other types of shops located very close to the apartment, and many of the city's most exciting cultural venues (American Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center) are within easy walking distance. Myriad transportation options are just outside the door as well.

I'm a single woman, age 60+ but young in spirit, with a passion for independent travel and meeting new people. After traveling mostly to Europe and staying mostly in B&B's, I've enjoyed expanding my horizons through home exchange. I can offer my space year-round to others from around the world who are interested in the best that New York City living has to offer. In the past two years, I've completed more than a dozen wonderful home swaps -- in Spain (Barcelona [2], San Sebastian, Madrid); Mexico (San Miguel de Allende [2]); France (Paris [2], Arles}; and Italy (Florence, Venice). And I have "credits" in Amsterdam, London, and Rio yet to complete, from homeforexchange.com visitors who have stayed in my home. Looking forward to new adventures in 2013 and beyond!
