Open for exchange

Exchange dates	Duration
June 25, 2025 - August 12, 2025	2 weeks
Particularly looking for France, but will consider any countries bordering France, particularly Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Also available for shorter exchanges anywhere. We have a little space for 1-2 visitors outside of these dates, but we would probably be in the house, and we would still expect some sort of exchange.

Cozy, Clean House in Bloomfield, NJ a suburb of New York City.

This is a cozy 1927 house with all the usual amenities.
Please note - the photos are a bit old, but the house is fundamentally the same. The bathroom and kitchen have been remodeled (and look GREAT!), and we converted the porch into an air-conditioned office.

SPACE & PARKING
There is a medium-sized back garden.
Parking space behind the house for two or three cars.
Additional on-Street Parking.

SLEEPING
Two medium-sized bedrooms with a double bed in one and 2 children's beds in the other (bunk beds). The third small bedroom is used as an office.
Pull-out couch (futon) in living room sleeps two more adults comfortably.

LIVING SPACE
Living Room/Dining Room in same space.
Small but comprehensive kitchen.
Washer and dryer in basement.
Nice street-facing enclosed porch (verandah).Window-mounted air conditioning units (which work well, since the house is small).

CONNECTIONS & PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
There is an express bus to New York City about 15 minutes walk away.
There is a train to New York City about a 5-minute drive away.
The local NJTransit bus 709 stops right outside our door (connects to several train stations and bus termini).
