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. Neither of our sons are living with us now. We have been hosting students from around the world who come to study English in NY for about 10 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. The house does have wi-fi. 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 you cannot use the kitchen to cook. There are no exceptions to this. We do not have locks on any of the rooms in the house. In 10 years we have never had a problem. If this is a concern for you we are not the home for you. This is our home and we do have outside obligations. I'm up early to go to work and we often have a full house so I ask for your consideration when booking your flight please do not plan to arrive at our home at 2 in the morning. We understand that there are sometimes flight delays and we'll work with that but try to arrange matters so you arrive no later than midnight. The prices for the rooms are standard throughout the year. Payment is due on arrival in cash in full. If you are booking for several months we can discuss arrangements. A light breakfast is included in the price. Dinner is available at the price of $10 per night. You do not have to commit in advance. We can work out that arrangement when you arrive. 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!
