* OUR STAR LETTERS SUMMER 2013*

Dear Erica
Just wanted to thank you for your kind organization for our B&B’s in London ! our trip was a success !! My husband is so happy
J ! me too ! We will recommend your website and of course we will recommend  P. It was just perfect !! nothing else to say. You can add that on your comments for your website if you want, really perfect !  It is very well located in a quiet and lovely area. It is very clean and comfortable.

Specially Pis adorable, we are glad we’ve met her. She made me think of my grandmother from Brittany and we felt like if we were at home.  It was pleasant to discuss with her and when I told her we planned to go to Ireland next year with my parents (because I love Ireland too), she told me she was Irish ! it added something special, life is like this, plenty of gifts !

Angels were with us since we discovered London with a wonderful blue sky and bright  sun! It was great ! The only thing as we said to P. is,  life in London is overpriced … and it is really too much crowded. Unbelievable … I really saw the difference since I went last time in 2007 at the same time. Fortunately Hyde park is still so marvelous, all flowers blooming  …

Thank you again for all.
All the best to you,

Warm regards
Nathy & Laurent

Hello Erica,
just a few words to say we had a very nice stay in London. It was very short and we wished we could have stayed longer but it was great. We were very lucky as regards the weather and tried to make the most of it.And we did enjoy staying at W's. She is a very nice lady indeed and we had a very nice time chatting with her at breakfast ! The room was ok and the beds comfortable and sharing the bathroom was not a problem at all ...Thank you for your help, maybe we'll be in touch again for a next stay,
kind regards,
Anne-Marie

Erica,
How are you !!!
I wanted to give you my feedback after staying with Mrs PQ. She is so lovely and kind that it was a pleasure to stay there. The room was very comfortable and the area around very nice.
Thank you so much for your help and have a nice year !!!Bye !!!

Dear Erica,
Livia will be moving from BH this weekend. I think she could not have been staying in a better place for her first month in London. I want to thank you very very much for a warm reception and for everything, for helping on her first recipes and for making tea for her when she had a cold. She was feeling quite at home living with you. I am surprised how well adapted she is at  ENBS, with lots of new friends, she is just loving it all.
Sonia with best wishes

Good Morning Erica,
Thank you very much for your help to make my first Homestay experience with wonderful memories. Paralympic 2012 in London give us a chance to appreciate the host country and to find out more about the culture, the rituals and the hospitalities of Great Britain citizens. We visit many, many places including the Buckingham Palace. Krystyna is an excellent host. She is kind, patience and very helpful. She help us get bus tickets to Stansted airport and show us quick ways to many destinations. On days that we leave home early, she make sanwiches for us to bring to the game. I also have chance to taste her wonderful cooking of Polish dishes. Everything exceed my expectation.  I certaily consider Homestay as my first choice in visiting the Great Britain. Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Cecilia.

Erica good afternoon,

Thank you
kind regards

The first impression of my host family was great. I was warmly welcomed after a long journey, not only because of the delicious chocolate cake and the hot cup of tea. 

As I spent my third semester in London I was looking for a nice family. Actually I planned to look for a flat with other students to get in touch with people of my age but from day one I felt really comfortable in the family so I decided to stay. Especially V was very helpful in any event. While I was looking for an internship she provided me with contact details or helped me with my CV. The six-year old daughter S is really adorable and makes you laugh with her kind nature. They always gave me advices where to shop, where to eat and what to visit. I guess, it's one of the greatest advantages when you live with a local family. As well the invitation to a barbecue, a TV evening with popcorn or the nice family dinners made me feel very welcome during my London time. Although I felt as a part of the family, I had all freedoms and never felt controlled or hemmed. They involved me just about right. The fact that they always have two students from abroad, I got to know a nice Chinese student. We cooked dinner together or discovered London. So although I lived with a young family I had also someone in my age. A perfect combination.

The typical english house is relatively centrally located so you're in 20 minutes in the centre of London, it's a friendly neighborhood with very different people. I lived in a small but lovely room with all I need, a huge bed, a desk, television... . So i could stow all the stuff I bought while I was living there. I could use the kitchen with all appliances and had a compartment in the cupboard and the fridge.

I would highly recommend this family to all people who want to stay in london for a few months. I think I am really lucky that I got to know these lovely people. Helpful, nice and warm-hearted. I guess living with them can definitely decrease your homesickness!

Hallo Erica,
we had a good journey in London!
A's house is ok,comfortable and quite.
So, thank you for your help and hope coming back to London soon.
Best regards.
Claudia Bergamo

K is a really nice person and she is very interesting. 
It would be a pleasure to meet you so tell me if you are available for a coffee appointment :)

Dear Erica, I could not have found a better place and nicer lady in London. She was also very kind and patient with Linda, my daughter, who does not speak English much, being dyslexic. I will tell the persons I know about You and Your Agency.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely yours, Alessandra

Dear Erica, I am impressed by the accuracy of your confirmation and the reactivity in replying to our need. I'll contact you once back home in Turin and
thank you
sincerely, Alessandra
