My wife and I live in the city of North Vancouver in a clean and quiet residential area very close to all amenities and public transportation. We have a spare bedroom with a detached bathroom. The bathroom will be shared if we have a second guest. The bedroom is comfortable and bright with a queen bed, its own closet, a writing desk and a large window from where you can see the famous Grouse Mountain. Free wifi is available to our guest.
The bus stop to downtown and Stanley Park is just a short walking distance away and it takes about 20 minutes to reach downtown. You can reach three ski slopes or the waterfront (Lonsdale Quay) within 8 minutes from our home. There are 3 recreational centers within 5 km. where one can swim, exercise or play indoor games.
We have a patio and garden at the back. YODA is our small pet dog who is very friendly, well trained and part of our family.
Meeting people from different counties and cultures is what we love and would like to help you have a wonderful experience while you stay with us.
I am a teacher at a prestigious college in North Vancouver. We speak English at home and are an outgoing and friendly couple.
We enjoy walking along the numerous trails around us, love to try different cuisines and learn about other countries and their cultures. We have traveled around the world and find people are very friendly and helpful.
We look forward to hosting you in our lovely home and making your stay comfortable and memorable.

Hello Frauke,
It was our pleasure to host you during your short stay with us. We hope to get a chance to host you in the future.
We wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
Thank youSeptember 2019
I’m very happy, that I decided to live with Meher and Percy and I'm glad too to met them. I stayed here three month and enjoyed the unforgettable moments I spent in this host family! Meher and Percy were very welcoming with me. They always helped me whenever I had questions, provided everything I needed and gave everything to make me feel comfortable there. Besides they are really friendly and respectful for the privacy of their guests. From the
first second with them I felt home and a part of their family.
The house is located in a quiet area. My room with a grandious view to the mountains, a seperate bathroom and a very comfortable bed was cosy and clean.
Moreover North Vancouver is a nice area to live. The location is very convenient - close
to the mountains and downtown is just a short bus ride away.Overall, I had a great time and I cannot recommend this homestay more highly. I will most definitely stay with them again on my next trip.
Thank you, Meher and Percy, for everything you've done for me! I miss you so much <3

I really enjoyed my stay with Percy. Percy and his family were very welcoming, kind and helpful, I felt like home all the time. While it is located in a nice quiet residential area, shopping malls and restaurants are in short walking distance, bus stop to downtown is 5 min away, so easy to reach evertwhere. The room is nice big and clean and the bed helped me to sleep better. Percy and his wife also helped me with English as I'm a ESL student. I would highly recommend this place and I'll definitely stay again if I have chance to come back.

This is the best homestay I have ever stayed. The owner get back to me very fast. I was urgently looking for a place to stay and connected with the owner within an hour. These couple are very caring and the home is very clean. They treat me as part of the family. It is very convenience to get around to other touring places. I will definitely stay again if I come back to Vancouver.
