EPA! offer home-stay accommodation with a Spanish-speaking host family. EPA! host families are carefully screened to ensure they provide a pleasant and safe “home away from home” for our students, and families are selected on several criteria: location, lodging quality, furniture, nearby facilities, equipment, and food.
