"We have been using the services of EBBN for some time as hosts and as guests and our experiences had always been positive. So this year, as we were going to be away travelling for two or three months, we decided to ask EBBN to help us find someone to stay in our home. It turned out that each person wanted to come for only two weeks. So we ended up having several members stay at different times. We were a little worried as we would not be present at each change over to oversee that everything was shipshape for the new arrival. We need not have worried. Each member who stayed left our place sparkingly clean and tidy for the next person. The best of all was when we finally arrived home, our place was not only clean, neat and tidy, with fresh linens on the beds, but it was more welcoming than ususal as it had a bright lived-in quality, which would not have been there if it had been closed up for three months."

"EBBN were most helpful in arranging these Home Stays. In fact they did all the work and were very pleasant to deal with. I feel that the Home Stay program is the way to go and I would fully recommend this as a way to have peace of mind and to know that your home is being looked after by responsible people while you are travelling."
