We live in a community of 100 year old private homes originally built as one of the first suburbs of New York City. It is a Victorian style house less than 1 block from the subway, about a 20 minute ride to Mid-Town Manhattan. We have 2 sons, one who just received his Masters and another who is an actor. We also have 2 dogs named Meek and Timid. We have been hosting students from around the world who come to study English in NY for about 4 1/2 years. We have a large eat in kitchen and a pretty untamed backyard as well as a front porch where you can watch the neighborhood walk by. We are about a 10 minute walk to Prospect Park which was designed by the same team that designed its more famous sister Central Park. We provide sheets and towels so you don't have to fill your suitcases with that. While we are fine with you using the microwave and putting 1 or 2 items in the refrigerator we do not share the kitchen. The prices listed are our winter prices; we charge a little more in the summer because we have much more demand. The price for T's room remains the same all year. Because I don't know how to note this on the price chart here please contact me if you want to come between March and September and we can talk about the pricing. We have been providing Homestays for a couple of years and have enjoyed great relationships with our guests. We always find the Homestay works best if we chat on line before you book. So please, drop us a note and ask any questions you have and we'll get right back to you. We look forward to hosting you! Great for someone just looking for a place to sleep. Windows onto hallway only, twin futon, small dresser, desk and chair outside of room. It's on the 3rd floor and the bathroom is shared with 2 other rooms on the floor.Luggage closet down the hall...
