I stayed with Leanne, John, their two young children and dog for a week whilst waiting to move into my apartment. They are a lovely family - friendly, welcoming, active and fun. They are a busy family but will always make an effort to chat. They made me feel very comfortable in their home and the room comes with everything you need. Great hosts! Thank you!

Thank you so much for hosting me 6 weeks.
Leanne and John are the perfect homestay parents, easy to talk to, very educated and both took care of me extremely well. Especially dinner was one of my favorites. I had everything one could wish for including two lovely siblings, a wonderful weekend on Vancouver Island, numerous deep talks and a lot of private time.Thank you so much

Very good place to stay. I have been very happy during 5 months with Leanne and her family. They are very friendly and helpful. Very good dinners and fantastic location, quite close to downtown. I highly recommend this house.

My stay (3,5 months) at Leanne’s and John’s home was great. They’re really friendly and the dog and their kids are so lovely. The room has everything you need and the dinner is delicious and wholesome. The location of their house is perfect, too. Depending on the traffic you can get Downtown in 10-20 minutes (by bus). A grocery store, where you can buy everything you need, as well as some restaurants and a bank are just a few blocks away.
I can totally recommend staying at this homestay!
Thank you so much for everything! :)
