We renovated the entire house about 7 years ago.

    The most comfortable house ever. Fara was so kind and accommodating. She was very lovely and helpful with everything. I was new to the country and she showed me the public transport and shops around. She gave me a lot of advice. Really loved it there

    I enjoyed my stay here and if I end up in North Vancouver again, I will not hesitate to stay here. Fara had very friendly house rules and my stay here was very comfortable. I worked at the Lions Gate hospital and it is just five minute walk and grocery shops and restaurants are close by. I wish them all the best.

    Fara was very kind and helpful. The rooms are upstairs, whereas most are in dark basements, so this was a big plus! Really enjoyed my stay and will book again here. Thanks Fara and family!

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
