We've worked with schools and universities, hospitals, and businesses in the greater Boston area for more than 40 years to make the right match between guest and host. Host homes are located throughout the city and suburbs, and have all been personally inspected by us.
Time and again, our hosts and guests alike speak about the joys of sharing their culture and the life long bonds that form with a home stay experience. Many hosts have gone on to visit their guest's home country and many weddings have been attended around the world! Don't want to be that cozy with your host? No problem! You are welcome to as much solitude as you desire.

(!) Important Disclaimers (!)
-
Please note that if we do not have at least one month notice before your arrival, we will try our best to place you, but it may not be possible. It takes time to search for available rooms, plan with our hosts, and make introductions, so please contact us more than a month in advance.

Areas like Harvard Square, Beacon Hill, and Longwood Medical are some of the most-desired locations in the Boston area. Housing options are extremely limited and expensive. Our homestay families are unlikely to be located in these areas; a typical commute for Boston-area residents is between 30 - 45 minutes by public transit (subway, train, bus).
