温馨的家

I lived with Rachel and her lovely family for almost six months, and I don't think I could have hoped for a better place to stay. As they are used to host strangers, Rachel's family immediately made me feel welcome and part of their family. My room was spacious, with an incredible mattress, and the house is very beautiful, in a nice neighbourhood.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a host family in Brighton!
Thank you again for everything Rachel !

Rachel is a very open-hearted woman who is always helpful and kind! I stayed with her for one month and we always got along very well. On my first day I arrived nearly at midnight because my flight was late but that wasn't a problem for her luckily! She even made a tea and a hot-water bag for me. In my room she left shampoo, shower gel, some snacks, a map of Brighton, magazines and some things more. Her dog is just lovely and I fell in love with him since the first second I saw him :)
The bus stop is a 2 minutes walk away with a very good connection to the city centre.
The only negative thing I have to mention is that her son goes to bed early and the walls are very thin so you have to be very quiet in the evening.
All in one it was a great stay with Rachel and her family! I'm so thankful for all her help and I would be happy to see her again.

I really admire the host but I have to give my opinion regarding my homestay.
Advantages: you have the house keys from the first moment, nice breakfast and suppers and the host is happy for you to come and go as you please. Disadvantages: it shouldn't be offered as a homestay but just as a room to sleep at night. The whole house tends to be in a real mess, it's quite difficult to study or take a nap in the afternoon due to the noise and sometimes you don't feel very welcome when you join the family in the common areas such as in the kitchen. It's impossible to go into the dinning room to watch t.v..

Rachel was a great host! I stayed with her for a little over 3 months. Her cooking was delicious and she always willing to help me with any questions I had about England, Brighton, or traveling. She was very considerate and welcomed me in. The house was a little wild at times with her son (very energetic), but it was manageable. The location was good for getting to uni and for going into town. Bus stops were close and my ride times either way were about 15-20 minutes.

Rachel is a lovely and very welcoming host. I stayed 4 months with her and had an unforgettable time. Her house is very cosy that is sometimes in a little mess but it doesn't lose its cosiness because of Rachel's care. The room is decorated with loving care and the bed is very comfortable. Rachel is a very good cook and I enjoyed to get to know the vegetarian cuisine. She is open-minded and helps whenever she can. I loved spending time with her family and she became a real friend to me. I'm looking forward to see her again and I recommend you to get to know the British culture in Rachels house and to spend some time with her.
