La famiglia ospitante è stata davvero accogliente, gentile e disponibile. Il primo giorno sono stata accompagnata a visitare la città , il posto di lavoro e mi sono stati mostrati i trasporti con le relative fermate. La casa e la camera erano spaziose e pulitissime. Il cibo ottimo e non mancava mai. Sono stati veramente perfetti e nel weekend mi hanno portato in gita a Londra! Consiglio a tutti questa stupenda famiglia.
