We have welcomed and enjoyed students and adults from many different cultures into our home. We are very experienced hosts always looking to welcome a new female student into our home, or adults.
Our home is on Heritage Mountain, nestled among walking trails, in a very safe neighbourhood in Port Moody. It close to high schools and recreation. There is also great access to Pinetree Secondary, Douglas College David Lam campus
in Coquitlam, and Simon Fraser University in Burnaby. Downtown Vancouver is 45 minutes by skytrain! The skytrain line has now expanded into Port Moody and Coquitlam. The bus to Coquitlam College is #182, then the Millennium line.
We are a professional couple, she works with students daily at SFU, he is a leader in the mental health field and understands students' cultural adjustments and help with difficult transitions.
In the past, we have supported female students who stay with us for a long time, some have been with us for 2-3 years.
If you re looking for a more independent stay, there is a separate brand new 3 bedroom suite, just for you! We do request a 20% advance to hold the booking for you. We welcome you and look forward to hearing from you!
