Living in Jo’s house is much more than clean room, comfortable bed and well located affordable house in center of London, it’s much more than that, it was my first experience living in a homestay, and I was so anxious but that’s all gone. from the first day I felt that I am home, living with someone I know so well, someone accepted who I am, someone was here whenever I need and respect my privacy ... feel blessed to have met her and have her now as a friend :) love her and already missed her so much❤️❤️Jo was more than a perfect host and completed my wonderful experience in the UK❤️

Thank you for every beautiful moment I had.

Do you guys have a 100 ❤️ option? Jo is one of the kindest and funniest persons I have ever met. Her house is lovely and she is always available for anything you might need. I have learnt a lotfrom just talking with her over breakfast, about London and life in general. In just a few days she was a generous host, a friend and sometimes even an adopted parent to me. I would recommend staying with her to anyone, 100%.

It was a pleasure having you stay with me and my home is always open to you.
