Great for Extended Stays

Homestays are great for extended stays on projects and assignments.It's especially relaxing to stay in a home like environment when the stay is longer than a week. The big USP for the business traveller in such cases is increasingly healthy home cooked meals!

Alan Clarke, CEO at Homestay.com, said: “The combination of comfort, value for money and the friendliness of staying with a host as compared to staying in a hotel, where you might not talk to anyone, are all contributing factors in choosing a homestay for a business trip.
