TO APPLY
We are superior to your typical Vancouver homestay in every way, and we encourage you to see it for yourself. Please take the opportunity to view the space and meet us via FaceTime, Skype, or WhatsApp. It really makes a difference when you can see something up close, and meet us and our current homestays - who are all happy to chat with you and answer any questions you may have about their experience here.
ABOUT HOME & HOST
We are a young couple, currently with no children, just our small dog Pearl - a loving, friendly and quiet pup! We live in our personally designed and newly renovated 5 bedroom home and have been hosting homestays for the past 6 years. We enjoy the company, cultures, and experience of homestays, and learning about the unique story and background behind each individual.
HOUSE RULES
We do not have "rules" or restrictions in our home. We believe everyone can be given the privilege of living without such, as long as it is not taken advantage of, and boundaries are not pushed. Only then, would we enforce rules and so far we have not had to do so as our homestays for the past 6 years have been very respectful and courteous. We have preferences and expectations, and we are environmentally conscious of our daily lifestyle - we ask that you be conscious just the same. We simply expect homestays to keep their space clean, and respect the house and your fellow housemates. We believe this makes for a more enjoyable, and comfortable environment.
NEIGHBORHOOD & AMENITIES
We live on Capital Hill in North Burnaby - one of the lower mainland's most sought after neighborhoods. It is very safe, green, active, healthy, and quiet, with amazing views of the City, mountains, ocean, and beyond.
