Une famille formidable, très accueillante et très attachante! Je l’es adores !

Merci beaucoup à eux pour leur accueille !March 2016
Absolutely nice family. Been there 4 nights. Although very busy, they did everything that I had a very good experience. Such lovely people. Great breakfast prepared every morning and good dinner on the first night. The room was clean, the kitchen and the bathroom were okay. Definitely recommending it :)

Joyce and the entire family were absolute angels. I have been treated with great care and respect. Everything was confortable! They are the most welcoming host family I have ever been with. They all have such a positive spirit and attitude. I would definitely recommend this homestay to anyone who would like to stay in London.

A very lovely family always helpful and very sociable, the location is just perfect you can reach the city center in about 30 minutes, so if you about to do a sightseeing tour stay there ! I had my own key and could come and go whenever I wanted to, also I had some really nice chat with Joyce and Tony in the evening now if you ask me I can recommend everyone to stay there I would do it again !! :)

La verdad que la familia se porto genial conmigo. La madre es encantadora y el padre también. El problema es que esta un poco lejos del centro porque es zona 4 (bastante caro el transporte), aun así la casa esta cerca del tren que te deja en el centro en 25 minutos. Buena experiencia :)

Thank you very much for opening your home for me, a stranger. The breakfast was outstanding, they were always willing to help with anything and always very polite. The only thing that was not perfect, was the Wi-Fi signal inside the room, that depending on your position could blackout some times , however the place was a very nice value for the money and I would go there again.

Amazing stay with the family.
Very friendly.
Nice bedroom. The perfect place to stay few days
Thank you Joyce :)October 2014
Very easy going family. Joyce and Tony are both busy and hardly at home during the day . Lovely twin daughters always smile and willing to help. Location wise, just 10 minutes away from rail station and supermarkets. There is a lovely huge park close by which becomes the biggest attraction for my stay. Thank you for a delicious meal on the first day.

As other people says Joyce and the family is the best family I ever stayed with!!!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ 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.
