    I would like to give a 5 star review to Mary she was my host in Chicago IL. She has a yellow house with a chocolate lab. The labs name is coco and she is just the sweetest dog in the world. Mary rescued her years and years ago. Mary and Rock are the most incredible people I have ever met. They welcomed me into their home and never made me feel anything but welcome. The first part of the house that got my attention was the back yard. It is so gorgeous and so much room which you don't see often in Chicago. My room was perfect for me and they keep the house tidy. They share the space well and I was able to use the fridge and stove whenever I wanted. I had a great experience and also made some lifelong friends.

    Homestay Host Family Mary in ,

    Thank you for the beautiful review. We enjoyed having you. The eight months went by so fast. Having you during this time was a great joy. We were sad to see you leave. You always kept your room clean and you picked up after your self. We were glad to have you as part of our family while you were here. Good luck to you on your journey. Keep us posted when you come back this way.

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) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

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.
