I had an amazing 4 week stay with Gertie and Larry. They were lovely and I really enjoyed talking to them. They have such a beautiful place and it felt like I was back at home. The railway station was just a 5 min walk from the house which was really handy for me. I had a wonderful time with them.
Thank You so much for having me!!Host reply

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your warm hospitality during my three-week stay with you. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home in your beautiful house.
Your kindness and generosity truly made my trip an unforgettable experience. I will always remember our conversations over breakfast, the delicious meals we shared, and the laughs we had together. You went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to have met both of you and to have had the pleasure of staying in your lovely home. Thank you for making my stay in your city such a memorable one.
With heartfelt thanks,
