Looking for a cozy and family-friendly home in a safe and walkable neighborhood? Look no further! Our home is just two blocks away from a popular avenue that's full of interesting shops and restaurants, including the Michelin-rated Juanita and Maude. Plus, there's a bike trail, park, public pool, and grocery store all nearby - everything you need is right at your fingertips!

The space

We live in half of a duplex with a shared backyard (the neighbor is awesome and never uses the backyard). Our home is ideal for a small family, with one of the bedrooms featuring a loft bed that has a fun fort underneath. There's also a futon and we can even put an air bed if needed to fit a total of four kids comfortably. We have lots of toys, games, arts and crafts, and books to keep your little ones entertained. And for those warm summer days, we have a large backyard with a small bouncy house and an inflatable kiddie pool - perfect for splashing around and having fun! We also have some bikes and a scooter available for use - one adult bike and one bike and scooter suitable for ages 4-6. And if you're interested, we're even open to a potential car swap. So what are you waiting for? Come stay with us and experience all the wonderful things our neighborhood has to offer! More about the space: - 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom - Central heat system - Washer/dryer - Garage attached to house - Wired for sonic fiber optic internet service - Hardwood and tile floors. Berber carpet in bedrooms. - No pets - We run a Molekule air purifier 24/7.

Fun-loving family of two looking for long weekends, weeklong stays during school breaks in the the Americas, and 4-6 weeks during summers (June- August). I am fortunate to be able work remotely for a tech company. My son is seven and loves learning and exploring. Looking forward to sharing new experiences through home exchanging!
