Meet Lara
Creative, Energetic, Friendly
My house has a feel that is like a cross between a shared house and a family home. It's easy to choose between being private and sociable.
On a typical day...
I won’t be home a lot.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

About the Homestay
I live in a 4 bed detached house 2 miles from the city centre with excellent transport links to the airport and centre. I live with my daughter and 1 other lodger.
There is a beautiful Victorian Park over the road, with tennis and basketball courts, a pond and boot camp every weekend (if you want!). There is a good range of local shops and other amenities.
The house is lively and sociable. We're into music, gigs, art, camping, travelling, yoga, gym, cinema and more.
** Please note that I require 48 hours notice minimum for any request **

House Rules
This is a laid back house, but it's important that we all clean up after ourselves, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. I don't mind you having visitors but would appreciate you letting me know beforehand.
Please make sure you double lock the front door when leaving the house and at night, and always check that the back door is locked when you leave.
As with most UK homes, we recycle, and I would appreciate you following this, using the glass, paper and general rubbish bins appropriately.
Thank you and have a great time in our house!
Smoking is allowed outdoors only.

I spent three wonderful weeks with Lara and Chia in a nice and warm house. What I might say is that I arrived here by myself and I felt like part of the family! We shared our interests, included typical meals, and went out together both for visit the city and enjoy the evenings! They are really kind and available but mostly..funny! The best company for your days. I'm gonna miss them.
