    I had a pleasant and stress-free stay at this house. The bedrooms are quite spacious and includes desks for studying. I was able to cook my own meals using the kitchen and when I needed to de-stress, I had access to the living room to hang with friends and watch TV. As a student, I had a very busy schedule so I wasn't always around the house for most of my stay. However, the couple was very respectful of my personal space. Whenever I'm around the house, Ed is usually at the kitchen table with his smokes, watching TV and MJ is usually busy keeping the place clean and tidy. MJ has very few rules and as long as you stick to those, it will be a smooth living experience. Remember, respect is reciprocal.

    If you are frighten to leave your home and go to a far destination, you can be confident, you will be safe. You can leave with your eyes closed. Mary Jo and Ed are very welcoming and friendly. The house is very pleasant, the room is very big with a double bed and desk space for study. You will have all the conveniences which you will need. They are great people with whom you will have the pleasure to live with. The house is close to Morraine Valley Community College, and there is public transportation to take you dowtown. I recommend this accommodation strongly. My trip was wonderful, yours will be certainly just as much. I am still here, and i’m leaving the middle of december, to go home to France.

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.
