Lots of giggles, it can be very lively!… Ok really loud:) and tons of fun! Uhtred our son’s dog is a beautiful Siberian husky, he is the most friendly, gentle boy.

Occasionally when our family visits, we make a family meal we may invite you to join us. We often have friends over for dinner and a bonfire on the weekends. Kiki, our 16 year old cat is our furry family member, she keeps to herself and is very sweet.

    Hi
    First let me start by saying that I am a guy who has never lived in a house other than my family house. So I was hesitant to give it a go at first . But I am happy that I did .Let me tell you that I felt like home as soon as I got there. Ninette, Mike and Luke are the nicest, sweetest and the most engaging people I ever met. What I mean by that is that they are always friendly, caring and also they told me a lot of places to visit (coffee shops, malls, etc). Also they are honest and they are always fun to talk to . finally, I really enjoyed my stay with them.

    A place that truly felt like home. Ninette, mike, luke and his little daughters are by far the best people I’ve met in the US.
    Very cozy house and a respectful, peaceful, and helpful family.

    All my love for this amazing family

    Ninette was a fantastic host. She was very accommodating, helpful and friendly. She gave me some superb recommendations about the neighborhood.
    I also enjoyed his very comfortable bedroom which is in the most convenient location for me. Is a quiet, clean, spacious and calming place
    Couldn’t have been better. House was beautiful and equipped with everything I needed. It made my stay on San Diego even better than we could have hoped for.
    I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Ninette's home again.

    Thank you Julio, we loved having you as our guest! Our doors are always open to you! You are a kind, conscientious man. Mi casa es tu casa!

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.
