Student comments about Homestay in Antigua or villages
Diane
"The lunches were satisfactory but the other meals were not very nutritious and of insufficient quantity. I had to buy protein foods to sustain me (peanuts, yogurt and cheese). "
Corrine
"Blanca was one of the most caring humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting "
Seongjo
"Warm and nice family. But the rooms are so closed to each other so I could not sleep well because of the sounds of snoring.
But we had a great laugh together so it was not a big deal to me. "
