I had a great stay with Mimi, Paul and their two sons. They were really open, friendly, helpful and made you feel at home. We often played games after dinner, what I really enjoyed since I'm a big family person and I could improve my English while playing.
They always cooked fresh and healthy food and the house was lively and tidy. Their dog Lucy is also super adorable, even though I'm usually a bit afraid of dogs.
If you ever visit Brighton, I would totally recommend staying with Mimi and her family.

It was a very nice staying!
The pretty room had a comfortable bed and plenty of storage space.
The whole house was fashionable, clean and sociable. I couldn't speak English well, but we enjoyed various daily events together. They put English subtitle for me when we watched TV together and let me join in British culture every time. I appreciate to all the host families for their kindness!
Mimi and Paul's cooking were amazing! They are very international and will make you happy. I already miss their cooking.
Last but not least, I really appreciate that Mimi, Paul, and their two sons were tolerant of my strange behavior that came from my culture! They showed an understanding of my culture that I speak indirectly. And also the table manners included many cultural differences but it was not a major issue either thanks to the family and another guest.
You don't need to worry about anything! They are very flexible to other cultures, and always welcome you as a family member!October 2021
Staying with Mimi and her family was a wonderful experience. They are all so lovely and really made me feel at home. We had many great evenings together, eating, playing games, or watching TV.
The house is beautiful and super clean as well, and the WIFI is excellent.
Also, their dog Lucy is the sweetest dog I have ever met - and I am usually afraid of dogs!
I can only recommend staying with Mimi and her family! I will miss them a lot.

It was a perfect experience, they are a lovely family that I love. I miss Joshua and Daniel so much, they are very cute! They made me feel like one of the family and I would repeat the experience for sure! the food was great, cooking very healthy and good, I loved everything she cooked, also the apple pies ... haha (I miss them too). The room is nice and big and the best, with a huge bed for sleeping. I recommend this family to everyone.

I stayed one month at Mimi and Paul's home. They were very kind and friendly. The room was small but very nice and well equipped. You have to take the bus to go in town, but it's not far (10-15 minutes). They have two boys and there are very cute!
I recommend heartily this family!August 2010
We had a very good time at Mimi and Pauls. We recomand the place for a trip to Brighton, even if it is not in the centre it is very easy to go to Brighton. We hadn't the luck to see the sun, but this is a good place to stay, Mimi and Paul are very welcoming.
