We have had students for many years so we are accustomed to having other people about, we're quite a sociable household. We speak a variety of languages, English, French, Italian, German & Spanish and look for opportunities to expand our vocabulary and share cultural experiences.
Our home has 6 bedrooms 3.5 bathrooms a double aspect lounge which looks out onto the back of Victoria park and the allotments. We have a variety of instruments so if you play perhaps we can have a jam session! There is a spacious kitchen and guests have their own cupboard and fridge.

Lorraine es una excelente anfitriona. Su casa, más que una casa, se convirtió en un hogar para mí. Ella es una mujer muy cálida y acogedora, siempre preocupada y brindando mucho apoyo. Sufrí la pérdida de mi equipaje y ella siempre estuvo al pendiente de mí. Su casa es un lugar muy grato en el que da gusto estar, muy buena ubicación y conectividad con la ciudad.
