Andrea and her husband were gracious, kind and very supportive to my son at a time that was very stressful for him. I cannot thank her enough. Paula Williams.

Excellent, as expected from previous experience, too. An immensely kind and helpful family.

Andrea is a most admirable host, that's for sure. The time I spent with this immensely friendly and helpful Christian family has been thoroughly enjoyable, and I would book with them again in the future.
All the best until then, Andrea!October 2018

We had 2 Spanish students staying with Andrea and her family and as their teacher, we were totally confident at all times that they were being cared for really well
Communication was excellent with her.
Both students told me unreservadly they would reconmend this experience for youngsters away from home for the first time.December 2017
I stayed three months in this house as a French Erasmus Student. I really enjoyed the area (a lot of parks and golf courses, Kingston upon Thames and Wimbledon at about 25 min by bus, and London Downtown, easily accessible from Raynes Park station).
The family is very nice and cooks very well ! The bedroom is very good, quite big and confortable.
I really enjoyed the time I spent here. That is the perfect place to stay in London, either if you want to study or to visit the area !October 2017
This guest awarded the host 4 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

This is the first time we have tried Homestay (or anything like it), and having tried it, we will certainly use it again.
Andrea and her immediate family were away during our stay, but she ensured that her aunt (Gilly) took good care of us. Our rooms and bathroom were perfect and we were spoilt rotten at breakfast! It certainly was home from home.
Many thanks Andrea and Gilly.
