Our Brooklyn 2 BR for your Austin house/apt (Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, NY) 2bd

2009-11-08T20:43:58-06:00

Come to NYC!!

We have to be in Austin from 11/16 - 12/15 for work. Swap your apt. or house in Austin for our 2 BR in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Very hip neighborhood. Located a 15 minute walk from beautiful Prospect Park, very close to great restaurants & everything else in Park Slope, easy subway Access to Manhattan or anything in Brooklyn. It has a view of the Manhattan Skyline, hardwood floors, a dishwasher (unusual in this city!) and it's big for NYC. We'd love something in South Austin, East Austin, or central/north... As long as it's not too far out. (We'll be commuting daily to UT). We are a filmmaker, a grassroots organizer, and a 6 month old.

We could do a swap for only part of this time, but it'd need to be a good chunk of this period (3+ weeks) to make it worth the hassle.

Russian Hill Apt for Central Austin Apt/ House (San Francisco) 1bd

2009-11-07T13:46:30-06:00

Want to spend a week in SF in January and not pay for an expensive hotel room?

We've got a small, though very comfortable and recently remodeled San Francisco - Russian Hill apartment for your Central Austin (preferably Hyde Park or Clarksville areas) apartment or home. Our apartment has a large kitchen, living room and one bedroom. It's a quite 1st floor apartment in the back of the building (away from street so it's definitely quite for the city) with lots of natural light and a view of a peaceful garden in the backyard. Best yet you'll be in the middle San Francisco and close to everything. You'll be able to walk to great restaurants, shopping and bars on Polk St and easily explore the city with quick access to MUNI and BART or Zipcar. Minutes away from Golden Gate Park, Sausalito, Napa, Sonoma...the list goes on and on. We're clean, respectful, professional and will expect you and your home to be the same.

We'd like to travel back to Austin to visit family and friends for a week in January between Jan 2-17, 2010. If you're interested in swapping homes, email with questions or to see pics. Thanks!
