Our home is located in an upscale safe neighborhood called Sullivan Heights. We are a down to earth, easy going couple with a small adorable pug. We are recent empty nesters so we have plenty of space to share. We like going to the beaches whenever weather is permitting or hanging out by our pond in our backyard garden. My husband works full time and we are up by 6 am in the morning and he is off to work by 7am.
We really enjoy hosting international students. We have 2 guest rooms and our typical guest(s) are female international students and/or female international work & travel guests. Presently we only host FEMALE guest(s) and we do not accept guest requests/bookings without a VERIFIED profile WITH picture.

Lisa's house was amazing, really big and clean. She and her husband are really kind, and their pug Luna is beautiful. Thank you so much!!!
Host reply

Lisa and her husband were wonderful hosts, very kind, thoughtful, and helpful and Luna the pug was absolutely adorable! The room I stayed in was large, airy, bright and clean and the bed was super comfortable. Bathroom was large, and the shower had awesome water pressure. Kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of space provided in the fridge and cupboard for my own food. The house is beautiful and in a quiet area, so perfect for studying or working remotely. Would not hesitate to stay again and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a homestay.
Host reply
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and we know Luna was definitely crazy about you! (You are a pug magnet:)!

I loved my stay! Lisa and her husband are both friendly, kind and calm individuals. And their little pug Luna is really cute. As for my room, I have to say that the bed was extremely comfortable. A dream! The house is beautiful and above all very cozy. As for the area, the house is located near shops and near bus stations. Perfect! Thanks again for everything!
