    Head a great time. Inez is a gracious host with good food; conversation and stories :). The location is within short walking distance to both bus and train and an easy commute into the city. Also nearby restaurants; grocery stores; cafes, etc. The room is spacious with large bed, microwave, etc. Cheers!

    Hello, if I could give 0 hearts, I would. I'm a student coming from Luxembourg and I have a last minute emergency that got me looking for a place a few days before uni starts. I ended up booking with Inez who THEN told me the room isn't available but I could go to her neighbor for 1 WEEK. I'm a woman in a foreign country, I wan't comfortable but accepted. Thank god, I ended up with the nicest lady of London (her neighbor)
    She then started lying about different things, one time it's because a student is in the room I booked, another time it's because of kitchen flooring, so I stayed longer at her neighbors. When I can't take it anymore and ask for refund because NEVER SET FOOR IN HER HOUSE except to visit once for 10min, she says yes, then no she doesn't have to refund me, because she isn't the one cancelling
    I'm asking for my room or my deposit back once more and she finally decides to refund me bits per bits not even the total amount
    She then proceeded saying that I was the rudest girl, which I'm not, I'm a student, I'm working and studying at the same time and she tried to steal my money. I was just trying to stand my grounds it was easy: either your room is available and you let people book it; or just leave people be!

    I only wish well to Inez, but I feel like she should be honest about all this and maybe take some responsibility in her actions instead of blaming people for how they react to disrespect.

    This woman was so ungrateful - so as not to cancel (with her acceptance) I provided her with an alternative which she accepted, because she could not afford the cost of my room and made all manner of excuses. If she had paid the cost up front there would have been no problem. I Did her a Favour so she was not homeless. She was offered her double room but opted for the single room because it was cheaper!All her deposit to me was refunded in full in two payments.

    Inez is a great host. Open-minded, always willing to help with anything. My first ever experience of living with a "host family" ever and I could not recommend Inez more. The house's location is perfect for anyone who needs to get quickly to the city centre, yet wants to pay reasonable rent. I hope to come back someday.

    I had a wonderful experience at this home stay. Inez and her son Darren were excellent hosts and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They house is very comfy and homelike and Inez was very kind to upgrade me to a double room at no extra charge. I was lucky to meet their very beautiful and friendly dog who is so welcoming of all guests. I will definitely recommend this home stay to others and will definitely stay at this property again in the future. Thank you Inez and Darren for an amazing stay.

    My stay with Inez was pretty nice. My room was fine. She had gave me a lot of private space, but she was ready to help when you have got a question. All in all, I would highly recommend a stay at her place, because her house is also in a great location.

    Very lovely host ,

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.
