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 private bathroom. 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.

Percy and Meher are the most wonderful and hospitable hosts! The accommodation is comfortable with a beautiful bathroom for the guest and the location is quiet and conveniently close to shops, restaurants and public transport. I would definitely stay at Percy and Meher's home again when looking for a homestay in North Vancouver.

Percy and Meher were amazing hosts, incredibly helpful and made me feel like part of the family. Location is very close to North Van shops, great access to the city and many walking trails. Highly recommended!

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.
