- Students
I have 5 years of experience hosting international students at my house. We currently have 2 bedroom upstairs and a basement room available for immediate move in. Our house is just 6 min walk from Unionville High School, and 5 min walk from bus stops, grocery stores, banks, Shoppers Drug Mart, McDonald's and many other restaurants. Our household consists of me and my husband, and hopefully we can have 2 more students/renters joining us for the upstairs and basement rooms. We are very friendly and love hosting international guests at our house. We only rent to students/renters that will follow our house rules of no smoking, not loud, and maintain cleanliness and tidiness of his/her bedroom and bathroom. Note: I apologize ahead of time, but I really don't like to provide meals, so my listing price does not include meals.

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?
