Erin is a very pleasant host. We were happy that she opened up her house to us. Erin also helped my wife with her mobility issues on a couple of days where I wasn't home from work yet in order to take care of my wife myself. This is above and beyond what I expected from a host.
Host reply
You both are very kind. Thank you for this review. You are welcome in my home any time You were great guests. !!!

Iran’s family has a beautiful spirit, they make a great effort to make me feel like am among my family... their Smiles, beautiful words and interesting talk has a special impact on me.
Staying with them is a great opportunity for foreign to learn about American community ... They tell you everything you want to know and guide you if you ask for. For no extra charge for sure!They show respect to all nationalities and beliefs in a wonderful and beautiful way
Ms. Iran wakes up every morning to make breakfast for me what makes me feel that I have a sister in this house. I’ve never felt that I pay to stay in this house; money does not mean anything in exchange for all the hospitality I’ve enjoyed with.
The house is clean and beautifully spacious. My room is quiet, with comfortable colors.
And the neighborhood is beautiful ... the neighbors are so friendly they welcome you as a neighbor and care more about you when they know that you are from different culture or community and they become interested to hear about your country.
(Talk to them; you are an ambassador of your country)
Summary of the evaluation:
I enjoyed in every moment I spent with them and I highly recommend staying with this family.Host reply

Personnaly, the kitchen and bathroom was constantly dirty, I had to clean the bathtub once cause I found strange vomit debris in it and I had to eat outside always cause the kitchen was so dirty that I hadn't had the courage to cook food in it. Noisy people also at nightime, I hardly could sleep some days. On the photographs, the rooms looks clean, colorful and well tidy, but in real, my room (the first one with the blue bed) was empty, sad, dusty with damaged plugs
Though, the family there is very nice and agreeable. But only go there if you're searching for social company, not for cleanliness or hygienic conditions.

Erin is a very nice and welcoming person. From the day I came till I left, I had no problems whatsoever. The place is in a safe neighbourhood and very close to public transportation. I definitely recommend her.
