My son who is a student of SFU is staying for last 5 months.. being new to Canada and being away from home and living on his own for first time, he is enjoying his stay every bit. He has got both his Independent space and the home feel as the house lady Connie takes care of everything including hot meals in evening. She is very considerate and kind and Nalin is really lucky to find this place thru homestay.

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