Meet Arnoldene
Outgoing, Trusting, Listener
I care a lot my guests' well-being. If they feel unwell & tell me I'll help them like a family member. I'm open to sharing dinner with them for a small cost. My home is theirs while they're with me.
On a typical day...
I’m a clean person and keep a clean house.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

Had an amazing time staying with Arnoldene! She is extremely kind, friendly and accommodating. The house is very well kept located in a welcoming and safe neighbourhood. Would highly recommend for anyone staying within the Ajax/Durham area. If I could rate anything above 5 hearts I would in a heartbeat!

From the first time I called her,I was certain that I wouldn't be disappointed with my expectations of staying in a home away from home.
The house is so neat and peaceful. We related as if we've known for ages this really made me feel so relaxed and her hospitality is second to none.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay in Arnordene's home when next I visit Ajax.Host reply
Juliet, it was a pleasure having you stay in my home for the few days. I too felt as if we'd known each other forever as we chatted at the dining table. You are welcome to return at anytime as long as I'm available. Blessings on you and your family.

We had a great time at Arnoldene's place. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The neighborhood is very conveniently located from Kingston Road and very quiet! Arnie is incredible. She was very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. She was also flexible with us using the kitchen and other amenities around the house, which literally made us feel like staying in our own home. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities. The most convenient part for us was the freedom to come and go from the house without disturbing Arnie. I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Hi Hirak, it was a pleasure having you and Evelyn stay at my home for 4 nights.
I was quite pleased with how comfortable you both were in the kitchen, preparing a meal which you generously shared with me, and leaving the kitchen impeccably clean afterwards. The things that you did that were memorable include cooking that delicious Filipino meal for lunch on Friday, and introducing me to bubble tea and to Filipino fried chicken on Saturday (and leaving extra chicken for me) .
You both were thoughtful each night you returned home late, at no time did you disturb me while I was asleep. You engaged in conversation that allowed me to get to know you both better - all made this stay a super special time and you both were exceptional house guests. You left my home so clean, even putting all used bedding and towels in the laundry before you left on Sunday morning, leaving me with minimal work to prepare for my next guest.
Hirak, you are most welcome in my home anytime you wish to stay here and there's availability. I strongly recommend anyone considering accepting him as a Homestay guest to do so without hesitation.

Thanks Fadel for your positive review. It was lovely having you stay with me and helping you with the matters that you needed help with as a newcomer to Canada.
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.
