    I liked seeing a mom with her son, just like me. I booked Homestay Eve because it was the last leg of a long vacation with just me and my son and I figured I would need someone to identify with and somewhere to feel at home. The place is relatively easy to find. She provided good directions, but I didn’t need to use them.
