I spent a good time there (2 months)
If you expect to have fun there you’re wrong it’s more like chill and everyone living his life on his own
I spent all my time in my room and ate alone in the kitchen
Didn’t see tony a lot but spoke a little with lynn and shés really nice
I think it’s perfect for short terms or people that want to be aloneHost reply
Mehdi was an ideal guest. As stated, we are a laid back couple who invite people to stay with us as guests but do accept, we love our private time and let people have their space. This does not mean we do not engage though.Eating with guests has always been a separate choice. Due to the busy lives Tony and i have, we can sometimes go days without seeing a guest in our home which , for many has never been a problem. Tony works away when necessary but we both feel we interact when we can with people and try to make people feel comfortable. As stated, our home is open to guests during their stay and short term for us also, is ideal. Many years of hosting has taught us many things with people from different countries and different cultures with different frames of what is good for them when living with others.We try to accommodate in as many ways as possible.

400 £ per un letto.. lei ha tutta la sua roba nella vostra camera.. non so neanche guardare la televisione.. lei ha sempre qualcosa da dirti .. se ci sono loro in cucina non si può cucinare.. non puoi fare nulla in cucina perché lei ha la radio accesa e si confonde.. assolutamente no

It was a great experience to stay in the home of Lynn and Toni who are really nice and interesting persons. I had the chance to stay in the double room towards the backside garden, which is very quiet and allows more privacy.

"You get a comfy room to yourself and enough possibilities to integrate into their daily routine. Lynn and Tony are very nice people, easy to get long with. Bus takes you to the city every couple minutes. Overall, I'd recommend a stay there."

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
