Newly renovated house on Long Island, NY- close to beaches and 40 miles from NYC
My house is a 3 bedroom/ 2 bath house in Babylon Village, Long Island NY. The house was gutted and remodeled in 2016. Babylon Village is a great location for visitors from all over. The house is a 15-20 min walk to the train station and a 1 hour train ride into Manhattan. It is a 15 min drive to some of the best beaches in the country. Additionally, the famous Long Island wineries are only a 1 hour drive out east. But just as nice is Babylon Village itself, where you can find shops, restaurants, pubs, and parks. My car is available for the exchange. It is a Honda CRV (hybrid automatic). I have everything you will need for a day at the beach- chairs, umbrella, blanket, towels, cooler and beach pass.
My sister has allergies to most cats. For that reason we cannot exchange to a house that has any pets.
The following is some information to help you understand the area a little bit...

We had a wonderful exchange to Paris. Communication with Camillo and Didier was excellent. We loved the location of the flat, close to 2 metro lines. The flat is beautifully decorated.
Très belle maison. Partenaire réactif
This was my first exchange and what a wonderful experience it was. Jackie was easy to communicate with and I loved staying in their house. St. Andrews truly is a gem in a beautiful pocket of the world. Jackie and her family treated my home as if it was their own. Thank you.

I am a single teacher who loves to travel.
I finished the 50 states and the 7 continents, but there is always so much more to explore. Depending on the details of the exchange, I am not sure who would join me. Could be my sister, aunt, or friends.
