IN ENGLISH: I had a wonderful and memorable time in Barcelona, thanks to Tony. I feel as if I arrived as a guest and left as a friend. Of course, the main reason why I choose to stay with a person that lives in the city is to experience the authentic culture and way of life of the people there. This is especially important to me as I speak Spanish to an intermediate level and wish to use continue to learn and practice speaking Spanish (rather than to stay at a hotel where I would not be able to speak Spanish). Tony’s English is very good and for that reason, I am really pleased that Tony took time to have conversations with me in Spanish. Tony is a warm, friendly and kind person and I immediately felt comfortable in his house. He is eager to please his guests and to make sure that they feel comfortable in his house. I don’t have anything negative to say because this homestay is ideal. It is centrally located in a nice neighbourhood, metro stations close by, and the house is clean and spacious (especially the bedroom). I would highly recommend Tony. EN ESPAÑOL: Lo pasé muy bien en Barcelona, gracias a Tony. Me siento como si había llegado como un invitado y luego se hizo un amigo. La razón principal que quiero quedarme con una persona de la cuidad es experimentar la cultura autentica y estilo de vida de la gente. Esto es muy importante para mí porque hablo español (como un extranjero) y necesito practicar y aumentar mi nivel en el idioma. En un hotel, lo estaría casi imposible hablar en español. Tony habla Inglés muy bien y por esta razón, me alegro que Tony me dio tiempo para conversar con él en español. Tony es una persona amable y cariñosa. Me sentí feliz y confortable en su casa. No tengo comentarios negativos porque su casa es ideal. La ubicación está central en un buen barrio, hay estación de metro cercana, y su casa está limpia con un amplia habitación. Recomiendo la casa de Tony. Muchas Gracias.

Yo recomendaría Celia. Gracias a Celia por los consejos sobre buenos lugares de interés a visitar en Valencia. Estoy aprendiendo español y por está razón quisiera decir, "gracias" a Celia por siempre hablando conmigo en español porque necesito practicar español. Celia es amable y me sentí comodo con ella. Su casa es una casa preciosa. Me gusta que Celia me presentó a sus vecinas y las vecinas son amables también. Su casa está en una buena ublicacion a visitar Valencia porque hay parades de autobuses y líneas del metro muy cerca. Lo pasé muy bien en Valencia con Celia. I would highly recommend Celia. I really enjoyed my time in her apartment. Celia gave me some great advice about places to visit in Valencia and how to get there etc. Due to the fact that I am learning Spanish, I would like to thank Celia for always speaking to me in Spanish especially as at my level of Spanish (B1), I need to practice constantly using the language so without a doubt this was really helpful and considerate. Celia is welcoming and friendly. I felt extremely comfortable and relaxed in her home. She has a lovely apartment. I was also introduced to her neighbours who were equally as friendly. Celia’s apartment is in a great location of Valencia with many bus stops and metro lines nearby. Thank you Celia for making my trip to Valencia a great one.

ESPAÑOL Un lugar maravilloso para quedarse en Málaga. He disfrutado muchísimo mi estancia en esta casa. Paco y Inocencia son encantadores y amables. Pasaron mucho tiempo hablar conmigo y tenían mucha paciencia cuando yo estaba hablando (porque no soy un hispanohablante nativo). Siempre hablan conmigo en español para que yo pudiera mejorar y practicar español. Paco y Inocencia me dan buenos consejos sobre Málaga y un montón de información útil. Su casa es bonita, tranquila y limpia. Cada noche, yo dormía como un bebe (yo tenía una buena noche de sueña). La ubicación es perfecta porque está cerca del centro y el transporto publico es eficiente. Muchas gracias a Paco y Inocencia. Gracias a ustedes, tuve unas excelentes vacaciones. ENGLISH Paco and Inocencia are a lovely couple. I highly recommend this homestay as I loved staying in their home. They spent a lot of time speaking with me in Spanish and I appreciated this as I am trying to improve my Spanish. They always spoke with me in Spanish and for me, this was perfect and without a doubt has helped improve my Spanish. Paco and Inocenia gave me a lot of advice and ideas about Málaga and the different places that would be of interest to me. Their house is lovely, peaceful and clean. I always slept well. The location of the house is perfect as it is close to the centre of Málaga and has good transport links by their house. I would like to thank Paco and Inocencia such a lot for making my holiday an amazing one. Thank you.

Caroline and her family made me feel instantly at home. They are really friendly people and Caroline gave me some really good advice about places to visit in Dublin. I would highly recommend Caroline for anyone looking for a homestay. Overall, I had a fantastic stay in Dublin so thank you Caroline (and to her mother who I spoke to quite a lot too). When I am in Dublin again, I hope to stay there again, if she has any rooms available.

Stefania made my stay very relaxing and stress-free. She makes you feel instantly at ease. All in all, this made my experience of Barcelona very special. Her apartment has a tranquil feel to it and is in a perfect location(very central). Stefania always spoke in Spanish to me, which is greatly appreciated as I am learning Spanish and she was always patient with my efforts, even when I struggle to express myself in the language. I highly recommend Stefania. In the future, I will be returning to Barcelona and I hope to stay with Stefania again. Thank you Stefania En Español Stefania hizo mi estancia muy relajante y libre de estrés. Ella es muy amable y simpática. Su personalidad amable hizo que mi estancia en Barcelona muy especial. La apartamento tiene un ambiente relajante (sin embargo, lleno de energía) y está en una ubicación perfecta (muy central). Stefania siempre hablaba en español conmigo y que fue muy apreciada porque estoy aprendiendo español. Ella siempre fue paciente con mi español - a veces, es difícil hablar en español porque todavía estoy aprendiendo el idioma. En el futuro, voy a volver a Barcelona y espero alojarme con Stefania de nuevo. Gracias Stefania.
