Description
We are two retired anthropologists invited as visiting professors for two months from April 15 to June 15th. We are experienced home and apartment owners and need to exchange with folks who also like space, light, room to study, live, and cook dinner. We need access to a subway that can get us to Toronto Metropolitan University and a place to park our car. We have lived in locations around the world and are comfortable with various life styles. We are not demanding and are used to doing our own cleaning. Our dates for being in Toronto are fixed. We would be open to someone who wanted to live in our Manhattan apartment during the summer, in exchange for our April to June 2 months of residency in Toronto.
