Host profile image
I love to travel as you will see by my photo taken at Greenwich outside London and we normally rent other people's homes so I know what I want and need to be comfortable and hope to provide the same for you. Skye House is named after the beautiful Isle of Skye.=- a very cold place in the winter but with warm people - a bit like Ballarat!! I'd love to go back and stay on Skye again but in the meantime I'm enjoying people enjoying my home!
