Christina is a great host. My stay with Christina was very comfortable and my room had everything I needed including its own fridge. Look forward to an opportunity to stay with Chistina in the near future.

Christina is a very welcoming person and her house is very comfortable. We loved to stay at hers and she always had good recommendations for us. She's a gem. You can book with your eyes closed, you will be in good hands. Many thanks again for the experience Christina!

Christina (and her dogs) were lovely and we were very comfortable staying here. She also let us use her backyard and tools to do up our campervan which was very kind.
Our room (larger) was very light and a great size for us. The kitchen and living room were a little darker as the space is partially basement but that didn't bother us.
About an hour on public transport into vancouver downtown. The nearby trail is very nice.

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.
