My name is Marina

You basically watch this because you're watching my Youtube channel

Okay guys

I'm here with my lovely host

Ketlin owns this place

She welcomes students from all over the world

And not only students, tourists as well

From all over the world in her home

And you have seen some parts of it

I just want to ask Ketlin about her experience

How long have you been doing this?

When I got this house, I decorated it

2012 when I started

doing that and it's been great

How many students have you had so far?

I didn't count

More than 10 anyway, I think

Maybe 15, 20, I suppose

How long do they stay?

That varies. Sometimes for 2 weeks

Sometimes they stay for 6 months

Wow, you had a student for 6 months

How was it living together for 6 months?

I've been lucky and had really lovely people

It's been a great pleasure

stay in touch with them

What about their language skills?

Do you have any students who come and don't speak English?

Any difficulties?

I haven't had much problem with that

they've been studying, doing serious studies

like Ms and it can help with their English a bit

And I think your accent is really easy to understand

I hope so

You speak really slowly

It's good for those who are not English

Let's talk about the location

I can tell it takes

about 25 minutes to get to my school

which is in the central London

It's fantastic here for getting around

to all different areas

We've got many many buses

And one or two different tube stations

within easy reach

It's very good

You don't realise until you here how good it is

And people always comment on it

It's a great location

Do you help students in their first day?

I ask them where's the college?

And how they're going to get there

and everything

In terms of food, do you provide breakfast

or can students book breakfast and dinner?

It can be either

Here's the lovely backyard

I was wondering, some students ask us

what do they have to bring with them

Bedlinen, towels?

That's all provided

Sleepers are good because

It's no shoes house

Okay

All the bedlinen and the towels are provided

Can they cook?

Not really

They can do minimum cooking

because there many people

and someone's going to come and make cakes

But like microwaving food?

They can microwave but

it's quick and sometimes

I make a meal and invite people

That's so nice

Tell us about recycling

because some countries like Russia, we don't do recycling

When people come here they need to follow certain rules

like recycling

The counselor in the area is strict about it

We have to put paper and plastic bottles

in the recycling bin

And we have to rinse them as well

Yeah

And other staff goes into landfill

That goes in a different bin

It's good thing

because it's for the ecology

to preserve the world for the future

inhabitants

Yeah, that's right

And also save water and electricity

Yeah

Maybe you can say something for future students

I like to have a nice atmosphere in my home

I like people to be happy when they stay here

I always like to keep good relatioships

They should tell me if there's something that not making them happy

And I should be able to do the same

We can all be happy

I just want to invite you to stay here

because I really enjoy it

I really like travelling

to central London which is quick

I really like the atmosphere at home

So if you want to stay in central London

book Ketlin's home

This is our bathroom

We have a private bathroom

Here's all my make-up

And the mirror

And I like that light

It's coming from here so I can do make up

Shower, hot water

toilet, sink

Everything's in a very good condition

New, cleant, amazing
