    I enjoyed my stay very much with Fara and her family. I had everything I needed, both in the home and in the community. Everything I needed was very close. I felt very comfortable there and enjoyed the many pleasant interactions that we had. I highly recommend staying with them and I look forward to the opportunity again when I am in North Vancouver.

    Fara est très sympathique et à l’écoute de ses invités. Elle a la conversation facile et donne de bons conseils. L’emplacement de sa maison était, pour moi, idéale.

    Fara was amazing, very hospitable and kind. The house was clean and had all the necessary amenities. Most of the time, the house was quiet, allowing for a comfortable rest. Whenever I needed anything, I would call, and she would bring it for me.

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) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
