Details of Housing Options

Family-Stay

Family-stays are all with pre-approved families and include breakfast and dinner - Monday through Saturday. All of our host families are middle-class residing in attractive homes and areas. All family-stays include a private room with most usually offering a private bathroom.  Many of these families have been hosting international travelers for years. Guests are provided a key to the house and are free to come and go as they please, but they MUST respect the routine of the family.  Most family-stays are within walking distance (10-25 minutes) or within a 5-minute taxi ride from the institute.
