Bildungsurlaub Course

Lilly stayed with a family in Budapest. We appreciated that InFluent found us a family on short notice. There was some confusion initially as the materials about the family stated that the father was the tutor, when in fact the mother was the tutor. She was lovely and made a real effort to keep up with the 3 hour language lessons. They have a 17 year old daughter who did not come out of her room or speak, so that was odd. There was also some confusion about what we paid for, it was my understanding that roughly $400 was to cover transportation and activity costs - the father asked us to pay for transportation fares and they ended up going to one museum, so that was also a bit odd and disappointing. They did take Lilly to a friends house in an effort to provide a cultural experience for her. The home stay is great but I think it is better to have the classes at the school.
