Connie's home is situated within an enclave of homes strategically located in North Burnaby. There is easy access to Lougheed Highway and Highway 1 for travel within the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Connie is a top tier host with a welcoming smile. She is always available when needed. As you settle in, she makes you feel right at home. She is a sincere and genuine person. I highly recommend Connie and her home for a first class stay.

I really enjoyed my stay . Connie and family are super nice and she is a great host ( and a really good cook ). I was there during the heat wave and the basement was cool and comfortable the hole time which was very nice. I hope the next time I work in the area there’s a room available. Thanks Connie for the great stay

Thank you Tim. It was our pleasure sharing our home with you !!Welcome back anytime
