Amelia was the perfect host.
Giving information when required.
Is the perfect home, when travelling alone, like me.
I will return again, by sure!
May 2018
I stayed 3 weeks at Amelia and Dylan's home and I really liked it. The hosts were kind and welcoming. Amelia is a very open-minded and active lady, with international interests. Dylan is an energetic guy with a great passion for music. It was always a pleasure to talk with them. The house is big, silent and very close to the city center. I would recommend this accommodation, for both the logistics and the familiar atmosphere.
September 2017
The house is conveniently located, the room clean and confortable and Amelia and Dylan very nice and welcoming. It was great staying with them.
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.
