Hi Nat, Hope you are well and thank you so much for this wonderful review! Bless you! I shall share it with Zarina. As we said before if you are ever in the area you are more than welcome to stay with us. Hope the rest of the tour is going well. Best wishes, Patrick
Host of the house are very welcoming. The room was clean and very spacious. Host was also accommodating and made it clear from the start “if there was anything I didn’t like I should let them know”.
Very friendly family and positive too. The location is very convenient as it’s a 5 minute walk to the bus stop and 8 minutes to the train station.
I would recommend someone if they wanted to stay in Birmingham.

Patrick and Zerina were delightful hosts, and very generously accepted my request to stay on very short notice. My stay was warm and comfortable, and I was able to focus on my work. I would heartily recommend staying with Patrick and Zerina as hosts.

Patrick was a very kind host, and very accommodating, happy to share local knowledge. The house is very easy to get to and from the theatre, and is located in a quiet street, which was very much appreciated at the end of a long day

Patrick and his family were so lovely and welcoming. They cooked me dinner on one evenings, and looked after me for my stay. A home from home. The house was a little run down but my room was clean & tidy and I had access to my own bathroom.Amy Mann
