Description
I am a professor at NYU who is on sabbatical in the fall of 2024. I want to find someone who wants to swap with me for my lovely one bedroom east village apartment for their lovely Berkeley CA bungalow preferably with a garden. My parents live in Oakland which is why I want to be in Berkeley (I also graduated from U.C. Berkeley back when it was easier to get into than it is now). I have an office at NYU that the person swapping my apartment could use for the entire semester. It's a lovely office with huge windows right near Washington Square park.

Comments: It's the best neighborhood in Manhattan. Most of the best restaurants in NYC within walking distance . It's a light filled 5th floor walk up in a five story building built in 1905. A 24/7 gourmet grocery story is 1/2 a block a way.

Comments: Right in the heart of the east village. It's 5th floor walk up which means no one is above you. My friends call it "a jewel of an apartment." Perfect for a single person or a couple. Tree lined street with brownstones. Near union square (subways).
Considerations
The home is not suitable for young kids
Pets are not allowed
Smoking is not allowed
A car is not available
Comments: I have a couch that is long and wide enough for my 6 foot 5 son to sleep on when he visits and I have a foam bed folded up in the basement (wrapped) to use for one or two guests. My bed is california king size.
House Sitting
I am looking for help while I am away
I would like help with plants or garden
Watering the plants (only two of them)
Comments: Bringing up the mail. Washing machine is in the basement of the building. There are nine units in the building.

Comments: You can go up on the roof and hang out. It's not a formal roof deck but I go up there every evening for a glass of wine and look at the open sky above new york city. You can see the empire state building (kinda)
