This was thee BEST home away from home experience Ive ever had in all my “air bnb” stays iv had! Alaura is incredibly thoughtful, kind and so caring! I immediately felt like im at grans house! The house is super clean and the kitchen has everything you need. I came at a time when i needed to have a place to stay urgently as my previous homestay was really bad! I was so sad to leave i must admit. Thank you so much Alaura may you continue to be blessed and divinely protected. You are such a gem

If you are an introvert or quiet person who needs a homestay, Alaura's home is a fantastic option for you. The house itself has anything you might want and Alaura will happily help you track down anything else you might need. They were kind enough to share some delicious homemade food and some great travel stories with me. Enjoy your stay, mine was awesome!

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.
