The perfect Homestay for my Internship
The difference between a home stay accommodation and other traditional accommodations in my experience is that staying at homestay actually feels like living at home.

When I travel to a new place, besides getting to know the city, I like to get out of the tourist area and get to know places that only local people know about and go to, like bars, restaurants, parks, beaches and feel a little more of the local culture. You know the gems only the locals know about? That's where I like to go.
I moved around Dawn's home with ease. Dawn cleared a space in her fridge so I was able to keep some of my own food and drink. We stopped off for takeaway some days so it was nice to know the best places for some of the food.
The room was amazingly comfortable. Everything about my stay was awesome. Shamara is one of the nicest people I've ever met.
In a homestay, differently from a hotel, you get a much more personal experience and understanding of the culture and language of your country of choice.
I work away from home, all over the country and finding decent accommodation that ticks every box is a real gamble. I initially chose it for the very competitive price and location.
Staying at Villa Cortese gave me exactly what I was looking for in my trip: to feel genuinely immersed in a beautiful Italian home. This was the direct result of Gabriella's warm hospitality, along with her sidekick Zoe (a very charismatic border collie).
Homestay.com now offers the functionality to book Mon-Fri type stays with our hosts, an ideal solution if you need a place to stay during the week but are happy to return home for the weekends.
Using homestay instead of a hotel or a rental property was the perfect choice for my situation. I was traveling abroad alone and had never been to Ireland so it was a little scary.

The most was the interaction with the family. A homestay gives the feeling of being part of the family sharing their living space. Compare that with an impersonal hotel room and, on top of a lower price, it is so much cosier.
