Mary ante todo es una empresaria. Durante el verano, me recibió a mí, persona mayor, como acoge a jovenes durante el año. Mi propósito era conocer la regíon y hablar para progresar en la práctica del idioma. Había pedido que se hablará español en casa (ya que Mary y su hijo son profesores de inglés) y todos respetaron mi demanda. Mary me ayudó y hasta me llevó a unos sitios de interés.
Supongo que mi estancia ha sido demasiado corta para que entabláramos relaciones amistosas.
Por lo tanto, Mary fue una anfitriona alegre que me acogió muy bien.Host reply
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) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
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.
