The home was a wonderful host, very welcoming and interesting who made me feel at ease throughout my stay. There is so much to see and do around Zittau, I would highly recommend a stay with him and would happily return myself !

My stay with the house was an incredible experience. From the first moment it welcomed me with kindness and good energy. It always respected my hours of help, kept to what was agreed, and proved to be an honest and respectful presence. Thanks to its experience as a teacher, I learned a lot from our conversations. I also thank Mr. Mike for his humor and kindness. It helped me practice English in a natural and fun way while I helped it; we even took bike rides. I would totally recommend this experience; I leave with very good memories and much gratitude toward both.
