Summer house swap with London?

We are a family of three, living in London and looking for someone in Maplewood or South Orange who’d like to swap houses with us for about five weeks this summer, from late July to late August (dates are a little flexible). Our home is a bright and spacious (for London!) 2.5 bedroom duplex (the top two floors of a row house on a quiet street), right next to a park with great playground, and just a short walk to the Underground (Finsbury Park station, the Victoria and Piccadilly lines) -- two stops from central London. The house backs onto a woodsy nature preserve/walking trail, and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Our neighborhood is called Stroud Green; Crouch End is also nearby. We are a journalist, a physics professor and a fourth grader; we’re super-considerate and will take great care of your house. We’ve successfully swapped our way to California several times -- this summer we’d like to be near family in New Jersey. Happy to send photos of our house to anyone who’s interested. bethgardiner@hotmail.com

I truly wish our apartment in East Orange met your specs but we won't be here but can't be there!

Best Regards,

Ron Carter

this won't be possible this summer for us but this is exactly something we'd be interested in for next summer. We live in Westfield, NJ. PM me if you want to keep in touch for future opportunities.

Good luck!
