Stephen is very nice, open and an interesting person. The room is clean and warm and ideally situated to go to central London by overground.

Perfect location(Zone 2), very friendly atmosphere with resonable price. Nothing to complain. Surely, I will stay Stephen’s house if goong to London again, undoubtably. Such a good experience I’ve had. I would recommend it if one looks for homestay in London.

Had a great time staying with Stephen. He is very hospitable and welcoming. It is in a wonderful location, very close to a train and bus station. I would have given it five stars, but the stairs may be off-putting for some and the shower could have been better. But overall, would certainly recommend it.

Notre fils à vécu deux mois extraordinaire au côté de Stephen . Sa gentillesse , sa disponibilité, l'écoute Qu’il apporte à ses hôtes est formidable.
La chambre est spacieuse , la cuisine à disposition ,une salle de bain privative en font un lieu très confortable.
Un vrai bonheur à Londres .

I definitely recommend this place to anyone planning on visiting London: it is very well located, near both a bus stop and a tube station.

Nice English gentlemen!

It was the first time for me using Homestay app, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect.
Stephen is such an English gentleman, I really felt at ease and comfortable, it really gives you the idea of home away from home.
The house is clean and warm, the bedroom spacious and the bed very comfortable. The location is very convenient and it’s just 3 minutes away from Queen’s Park station.
I highly recommend the stay, especially if you appreciate the human contact with a local.

O Stephen, a musica, a localização. Tudo isso faz essa casa ser maravilhosa. Vá com o coração aberto, aproveite seus dias em Londres com tudo a um passo de você. O ambiente é calmo, o homestay é amigavel e, se ele não puder te ajudar, por sua elegancia, jamais te causará algum incomodo. Obrigada Stephen, fui muito feliz hospedada em sua casa.

Stephen is very nice and friendly. The room has plenty of space and bed is comfortable. Couldn’t ask for more!
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
