Looking for an awesome place to live while studying in Vancouver? You've come to the right place. We'd love to host you in our beautiful home.


We're a fun, easy going, friendly family of four. Three out of four of us were born in Vancouver and we only speak English at home. We'd love to interact with you and learn about your culture. We have been hosting since June 2014 and have met so many wonderful people, love learning about their cultures and teaching them about Canadian culture.



My husband is a great cook! We offer quality meals....not cheap or frozen microwave meals, and/or we don't feed you separate food like some homestay families! We eat dinner together and take time to interact and speak with our students. We treat you like family.



Our home is smoke and pet free. Our rooms are on the ground level with a large window and are furnished with a twin/single bed, night table, desk, dresser and closet for clothes. We offer two shared washrooms. If you'd like a private washroom that can be arranged for an additional fee.



We have a large backyard and and have a garden where we invite you to help grow some of our food!
