I've spent one month with Karin, Tony and their kids and, during all that time, I felt very welcoming. It was like home for me. I could have my moments of privacy, as I wanted, but I also had a lot of chats with them, sometimes drinking a glass of wine or a beer. Karin and her family are very interested in politics, so we talked a lot about Brexit, the most important issue between June and July/2016. It was very good, because I learnt about British politics with them and was able to understand a little what was going on.
Talking about the accommodations, they are perfect. The bedroom and the bathroom are big and plenty of natural light. The bed and the sofa are very comfortable. There was room to keep all my things very well -- and I had two big bags plenty of clothes and shoes!
I had a lot of freedom to use the kitchen too, a very well equipped room. Almost every day I prepared my lunch and/or my dinner, and they never complaint about anything. Sometimes I was invited to join them and her friends or family. To do my laundry, I had only to ask if the washing machine was available.
Having a good bedroom is really important when you are traveling for a long time, but feeling well and supported by nice people is even more important. That's why I truly recommend Karin's home.
