I am a lecturer at La Trobe University. I have hosted many HomeStay students over the years (and been an exchange student myself when I was younger). I've enjoyed those experiences very much. I live alone (with my cat) in a 3 bedroom house in a quiet street across the road from a park. It's about a 30 minute walk to La Trobe Uni or a 15 minute walk to a bus that goes to La Trobe. I am happy to offer a lift if you are studying and I am teaching on the same day. Breakfast (serve yourself) and dinner are provided - I enjoy cooking. I am used to catering for all dietary requirements. Or we can negotiate a lower rate if you don't require meals. You will have a room with a Queen-size bed, with lots of wardrobe and drawer space and a bedside table. You will have your own (separate) study area and private bathroom. There is a shared toilet, laundry, kitchen and lounge. There is a spacious back yard with a trampoline.
