So i stayed with Jill and Dominic while i was preparing for my PLAB 2 exam.
Before I go into the details of the room or the house i would like to say that I feel i got really lucky staying with such a nice family in Levenshulme and that I felt the price was a real bargain in that respect. I hope Jill doesn't raise the rates after reading this.
It's just a road away from the Swamy academy as well for me so it ended up being perfect for me. I shall forever remember those days as some of the happiest of my life as they are really warm and welcoming people. Moreover they made me feel i was a part of a family which helped me a lot, being in a foreign country far away from home.
The place has great vibes, a nice and peaceful surburb. Lots of parks, cycling paths and greenery around. The levenshulme station is nearby and there are Lots of supermarkets, restaurants, barbers and anything else you would need just a street away.
For me, personally, the trees, greenery and walking paths helped me unwind after a long day at the academy.
I understand it's bed and breakfast but they were kind enough to even share food for dinner or "tea" as Dominic calls it. After a long day practicing at the academy i would come home, well it felt like home for me, and i would talk to Jill or Dominic at night as we watched the news after "tea". It really made me feel good and gave me confidence for my exam.
The room is quite spacious, up in the attic. I think it's the biggest one in the house. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in, although i think Dominic was planning on changing the mattress, and it was quiet and peaceful enough for me to even get some studying done at night.
I had a wonderful stay there and i feel i have even grown and matured more as a person from my experience with that family. And it definitely helped a lot for my exam as well.
