    Jeanine et sa famille étaient très chaleureux et accueillants. Le séjour de 4 mois était parfait en grande partie grâce à eux. Ils étaient très facilement accessible et répondaient rapidement au moindre soucis.

    The family is great. They are so lovely and respectful, they're inquisitive to learn about any culture. The stay there feels as your home.

    The family are extremely wonderful and kind. They treat you as if you were their son or daughter. They are so generous and helpful. You will love staying at home all the time playing with the kids, relaxing and even learning new things. They like to discuss any thing with you for the purpose of developing your English or French skill and for them to understand more about you and your culture. The place is nice, safe and quiet. If you are looking for a place to exercise and run, or maybe biking, this neighborhood is the best place.

    Regarding the transportation, the bus station is only 3-4 min walking from home.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
