My name is Brian and I work as a motor mechanic. I’m single, easy going and I enjoy sports, travelling and meeting other people.
I can provide a caring stable environment, clean bedrooms with separate comfortable bed for each student, wardrobe space and a place for students to study in peace. All bedrooms have separate wardrobes, desk, wifi.
I’m available to assist students upon arrival with familiarising themselves with my house and locality. I will be present throughout the period of the students stay or make arrangements and make time each day to converse with students to help with their English as well as making them feel part of the family.
I also offer to bring guests to come food shopping with me every week or two weeks to pick up what they need.
In the home, I have an electric piano with headphones that guests are welcome to play if they wish. The headphones ensure that the music does not disturb any other guests.

Brain was a very accommodating host. During my stay I could make full use of facilities including kitchen and washing machine.
The house is a quick bus ride into town and it’s next to several supermarkets, takeaways and gym. Very convenient for anyone needing to be close to the city center.
Brian was very helpful with helping me settle in too and let’s guests make themselves at home.
Would recommend.
