Whitechapel has that east London character. Busy streets, good food at reasonable prices, and Brick Lane just a few minutes north for curry houses and bagel shops. Aldgate East tube is a four-minute walk, and Whitechapel station gives you the Elizabeth Line, one of the newest and fastest routes across London, running from Heathrow through the centre to Canary Wharf. The area has plenty of supermarkets, shops and restaurants along Whitechapel Road. Students from universities across east and central London live here for the transport and the lower rents compared to Zone 1.

Recomendamos fortemente a London Homestays a todos que buscam qualidade, confiabilidade e um atendimento ao cliente excepcional.”
Alex Fernandes, Accommodation & Visa Compliance Manager, Malvern House London“Tendo trabalhado com eles desde 2013, posso afirmar que a London Homestays sempre se preocupou em encontrar famílias anfitriãs adequadas para os nossos alunos. Eles têm uma abordagem muito amigável e, ao mesmo tempo, profissional. Nossos alunos gostaram muito de ficar nas casas de família deles. No geral, os alunos dizem que as famílias anfitriãs são atenciosas e acolhedoras.”
Carl Roberton, Principal, Stafford House School of English“Nós, da Burlington School, trabalhamos com a London Homestays desde 2014, e eu conheço a equipe profissionalmente desde 2009, quando trabalhava para outra empresa do setor de educação e hospedagem. Tendo tido a oportunidade de trabalhar com a London Homestays desde o início de suas operações em Londres, todas as solicitações foram tratadas com dedicação e agilidade. Os membros da equipe são focados no cliente e sempre proporcionam uma experiência de hospedagem excepcional aos nossos alunos. Não hesito em recomendar a London Homestays como excelentes fornecedores de hospedagem e parceiros de negócios.”

Ficamos muito satisfeitos com os serviços prestados pela London Homestays, assim como nossos candidatos, que sempre receberam informações rápidas sobre as famílias anfitriãs, a possibilidade de reservar um quarto com pouco tempo de antecedência e também uma ótima seleção de famílias. Eu recomendaria esta agência sem qualquer dúvida. A equipe é muito profissional, eficiente e amigável :). Esperamos enviar novos estagiários em breve!”
Stéphanie Frassanito, Program Manager, Work Overseas“Nossa escola da República Tcheca teve ótimas experiências com a London Homestays. Eles são uma das poucas agências de hospedagem que aceitaram nossos hóspedes muito jovens (menores de 12 anos). As famílias anfitriãs foram, em geral, acolhedoras, gentis e prestativas. O serviço prestado pela coordenadora Kate O’Connor e pelos demais funcionários administrativos é incomparável.”
