Our home is located one block from the main transportation center for easy access to many universities including St. Joseph's 20 minutes, Drexel 20 minutes, University of Pennsylvania 20 minutes, Temple 40 minutes, Widener 40 minutes. We lived and worked for 15 years in Morocco and understand very well the challenges of learning a new culture and language. As a result of working overseas we also speak French and Arabic. We have hosted more than 75 international students in our home since 2013.

We have a clean and comfortable home located near to a large commercial shopping area. We own a coffee shop which is located nearby. The cafe is a great place for English language students to meet Americans and practice and get help with their English.

Our home has five bedrooms for hosting students. The students have their own kitchen and also share two and a half bathrooms. We offer our services as the host family to help you with any needs you might have for learning how to live in America.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, oven, stove, coffee maker and all of the necessary cooking pans and utensils. Free wifi is available and a shared common area for you to watch TV or study. We also provide a free laundry.
