This homestay is lovely. The breakfast is really good. Colin is more reserved, but Shima is always chatty and available, and that's a really good thing for people whom want practice the language or are just lost in the city. The house is clean and quiet. There are all kinds of stores around, a subway station nearby and bus stopping to the center of the city. There are places to jogging, for those whom like. I would stay there again!

Enjoyable stay at Colin and Shima's. Warmly received, and well attended over the whole stay.
Great breakfasts. Towels provided, comfortable beds and quiet rooms.
We got there with 2 kids who didn't mind walking to the house from the subway and bus.
I will recommend the place to friends, and would come back if another opportunity presents.
