My name is Sarah, John and I welcome you to stay in our home in Brighton, on the west side of the city in an area called Portslade Old Village. We have the choice of 2 rooms, 1 small single and 1 shared twin room. Both are modern, bright, comfortable with lots of storage and WiFi, wooden floors. Each room has a radiator.
The price is for half board( breakfast, and evening meal... Lunch can be provided for an extra £10per week) and includes all bills. The twin room can be booked for a single person who is willing to share with another or 2 friends wanting to stay together. For 3 people wishing to stay together both rooms can be booked. Please not all prices are PER PERSON and not per room in twin room.
Our home has a shared bathroom downstairs and a family bathroom upstairs.
Our home is conveniently located 4 km from central Brighton with excellent, regular bus/train services. Night bus access to the centre too. Bus route 1/1A/N1/55, 95 run from every 6 minutes to the city centre, taking 22( evenings/day time)-35/40(rush hour) minutes depending upon time of day. It is a quiet, safe residential area, close to countryside and the beach. If you want to be in the heart of the busy city centre our home is not right for you but many find it very easy and quick to reach the centre and obviously you have the benefit of a quiet area for sleeping/relaxing etc. Bike hire is available throughout the city.
We are a very relaxed, experienced and friendly host family. At our home you will have your own key to come and go as you please- no curfews (under 18 with your parents permission) but the reassurance of a family home environment. We are always here for you with help and advise if you need it and will welcome you in our home and family. All meals are home cooked, substantial with a good variety ( John was a chef for many years). You have full access the living/garden/terrace areas.
I have 1 son (19) living at home and a daughter (24).

Top-notch experience! I couldn’t have found better hosts for my daughter!!
She is a student staying there for several months, and she is absolutely delighted.
They are by far the perfect hosts, accommodating, helpful and friendly.
She is enjoying their lovely hospitality as well as every morsel of food they serve!
I will recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a warm and welcoming family home.
Many thanks to you for hosting my daughter warmly into your home.October 2018
