Ha sido una estancia increíble durante 3 meses. Una familia encantadora y abierta de mente. La habitación con ducha privada es muy amplia y cómoda para los ratos que quieras pasar sola. La cocina y comedor es muy amplia para cocinar y comer, además de charlar con la familia. Recomendado 100%, gracias por todo me hicieron sentir como en casa.

I had an amazing time staying with Philip and his lovely family. I stayed with them for a month and it really feels like home for me. They are friendly and always available to help.
I definitely recommend their room to anyone who wants to have a home away from home in Brighton.October 2022
I absolutely loved staying at this Homestay. The family was very lovely and made me feel at home right away. They were always open to answer any questions I had. I absolutely recommend this host.

When do I pay?
