Hi there!
If you a responsible person (or couple) and like to come home to a fun loving 9 year old Jack Russell/Dachshund mix, after a day of exploring NYC, from April 10th till April 18th or 19th, then you are our person! Care for the doggie consists out of two to three walks a day minutes) in the neighborhood and plenty of belly rubs :). He eats twice a day, always needs access to fresh water.
We live in a two-bedroom apartment in Eastern Queens NYC, about 15 to 20 min by car from JFK and LaGuardia Airports. You would enjoy a large apartment with living room, sit in kitchen, bathroom and a big bedroom in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We are close to Flushing Meadows Park (home of the Mets and the US open) and Forest Park. We live around 3 blocks away from the subway. You don't need a car to get around from here. Grocery stores are around the corner, laundry in the building. Manhattan is a 30 to 45 min subway ride away. NYC can be be magical in spring. Mid april is peak cherry blossom season. Find them everywhere but especially at Flushing Park, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden or Central Park. Catch a broadway show, a food festival or a parade! Visit the Orchid show at the Brooklyn botanical garden, catch a Knicks or Yankee game, Nick Cave or Mary J Blige concerts. Bike around, take a boat cruise or be surprised by the unexpected! There is always a ton to do in nyc.
We ourselves are a couple (Psychotherapist and Behavioral Intervention Specialist) in our forties with a third grader. If you have a kid around the same age, then our apartment is basically a playroom paradise full of toys.
If you like to come a day early or stay a day later, you are welcome to stay with us.
