We have three rooms, one on the main floor and two on the upper-floor. The main floor room has a private bathroom on the same floor, while the two upper-floor rooms share an adjacent bathroom. All rooms have windows.

Our home is very comfortable. We share common areas, including the kitchen, but we also respect everyone's need for alone time. We have an extra recreation room for our homestay guests with comfortable seating and large table for homework or projects. Meals are available for an extra fee upon request. Our ideal candidate is a female student, visitor or working professional. If you are looking for a quiet place to focus on your studies, or a relaxing home to enjoy your stay in Vancouver, this could be the home for you. We are an English speaking home and have been hosting homestay students for many years.

I loved my stay at Paul's and Marcia's place! They are very kind and welcoming. The house is very clean and organized. The room was big and modern. The kitchen had all the supplies I usually use and it's very clean. The temperature in the house was warm and cozy in the winter. The neighborhood is calm and there are many restaurants and stores nearby, as well as a gym in the community center. I stayed in their house in my first weeks in Vancouver, they gave me good advice and I had a great time with them.
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) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
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.
