Gay Homestays

I love to travel.  Unfortunately, I don’t get much of a chance.  When I do get to travel, I don’t always enjoy staying in a hotel for more than a day or two.  Finding a place with a kitchen and more than one room is ideal, but usually very expensive.

Recently, I have been hearing about Homestays.  The traditional homestay involved housing for a foreign exchange student to find housing with a host family.  The idea is opening up to all types of travelers looking for an alternative to traditional hotel based accommodations.

I came across the company Gay Homestays this week.  The website offers travelors a way to search for homestay opportunities in a variety of cities all over the world.  The host sites are guest rooms in private homes, tourist apartments, gay or gay-friendly bed and breakfast or gay guest house rooms.

Has anyone used a homestay service?  Good experience?
