Hi Students,
welcome to the US! We are a 39 and 46 year old gay couple living in a newly renovated Victorian in Worcester, between WPI and UMass Medical Center. Various bus lines stop In nearby Brittan Square, and the MBTA station is two miles away and also accessible by bus. All shopping is close by.
The room is 13x12 feet and has private bathroom, 40 inch LCD TV, Apple TV, WiFi, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, work station, and Air Conditioner. Both of us work a lot and are very respectful to privacy, but we treat each student as part of our family.
I have been an exchange student in the US and abroad and want to offer the same hospitality I have experienced. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Alex and Robson are amazing! I really enjoyed my stay there. They go above and beyond to help you and make you feel at home. Besides, the room is perfect, you’ll find everything you need. It’s a rare find and at a reasonable price.
Thank you guys!October 2020
Alex is a wonderful host. He went above & beyond to ensure that I had a comfortable & quiet stay. I believe that I have made a lifelong friend with him & his family.
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.
