COME AND SHARE OUR LOVELY CLEAN, BR

My stay in Birmingham turned into an unforgettable life experience full of emotions that Sherl and Angie with their family and all the guests of their home shared with me and helped to make unique. A comfortable and ideal accommodation to reach all the most beautiful areas of central Birmingham, clean and cared for, exceptional hospitality that is not limited to pure professionalism, but goes far beyond! Friendly, kind and helpful, they really made me feel at home! I highly recommend this family, do not be intimidated by the shared bathroom, there are not many rooms and the cleaning service is punctual and precise, sharing the spaces will be a way to make friends and meet new interesting people.

This is a review from someone who stayed at Shirl's home for 6 months for university studies abroad. As such, it has somewhat turned into my second home, which is largely due to Shirl and her family. Not only because I was received so warmly upon arrival, but also because they eased the process of settling down in an unknown city and to new life circumstances greatly and made it appear seamless. The house, in general, is kept in a well-cleaned condition, with virtually all necessary household goods (such as toilet paper, cutlery & crockery, cleaning facilities & materials, bedlinen, towels, wardrobe, drawers, desk) provided. As Shirl has been hosting guests for over 10 years, she has developed an expertise and is experienced in welcoming and accommodating all sorts of guests and catering to their needs, which I got to observe over my 6 months at their home. Both security and privacy are highly valued at Shirl's home, but at the same time they were always available for a chat in the kitchen or an evening in the living room watching TV or reviewing the day, even during more turbulent times at university or work. Finally, as I travelled throughout the UK during my stay, the location of Shirl's home facilitated these activities, as the city centre can be reached within 15-20 minutes by frequent bus services not far from the doorstep. As such, especially for longer stays, I judge Shirl's homestay to offer some of the best value for money and know where I will be staying, should I return to Birmingham in the future.
Thank you, once again, for a fantastic homestay experience!

When I first went inside Shirl's beautiful house I immediately felt at home. Her family is lovely, really : each of them is welcoming, attentive and friendly. I hold them close to my heart, they were like a second family here. Concerning the house, don't worry it's extremely clean ! The kitchen and the bathroom are well equipped. My room was perfect. I had everything I needed. In addition, the house is nicely decorated. As I'm a student, it was important that I was not too far from the University. Hopefully, the house is also in a good location. It's easy to go to the city center and the University (Atson for me) with the bus near Shirl's house. On top of that, the house is just next to a beautiful park, perfect for nature lovers. Finally, the thing that I will remember most about Birmingham is definitely Shirl and her family. Thank you for your kindness, I hope you will come to Belgium one day :)

Mi estadía en la casa de Shirley fue muy grata. Tanto ella como sus hijos fueron gentiles y atentos durante todo mi periodo de intercambio. Su casa es muy amplia, extremadamente limpia y ordenada, donde obviamente se ven reflejadas las buenas costumbres de la familia y las normas de convivencia. Dentro de la casa, el nivel de privacidad era muy bueno; uno podía dejar su habitación bajo llave o abierta, la cual era sumamente cómoda con todo lo necesario para ubicar mis pertenencias y estaba muy bien equipada. En ocasiones cuando estuve fuera de Birmingham, le dejaba la llave a Shirley, ya que esto era parte de su reglamento. Tampoco había problemas con el horario de entrada y salida, siempre y cuando diéramos aviso. Puedo decir que tuve una excelente y agradable estadía.
