Student comments about Single En-suite - Silver Room
Joanna
"I wanted a family without any animals, but my host family had two big dogs :( In addition, they were smokers and I didn’t appreciate it. Moreover, they didn’t want to cook for me, despite the fact that I paid for regular meals. My family didn’t talk to me at all, and when it comes to the dogs, they sometimes were pooping and peeing inside the house."
