Staying at Katherine's was like a "home away from home". Katherine and her husband are easy going, warm people and very entertaining to their guests. Their house is very clean and quiet. They are respectful to their guests and respect your privacy. Her husband is also like a tour guide, very helpful to give directions and what to do. Katherine is an excellent cook and made one of the best "adobe" dishes I have tried, There also is a shopping mall 10-15 minutes by walking, They are very nice people and look forward to staying at their home again.

We enjoyed our experience in Canada but we were just a little disappointed in our stay in the host family
Host reply
Thank you kathleen and kadja if you have enjoyed your stay in canada. I saw you were having great fun when we brought you to niagara falls and niagara-on-the-lake to see the wineries with ice wine dinner after that, brought you to shopping places when you need stuffs (as if it is our obligation to do so with the manner you speak) , brought you to store to buy your busfares, brought you to your apprenticeship place to make you feel comfortable on your first day of travel , gave you lots of free lunches and dinners, pick you up at the airport and treated you for free dinner in a resto , brought you to a burger house known in scarborough where you ordered their most expensive product. I hope these are the things you enjoyed during your stay here in canada because all were given to you wholeheartedly and free of charge by us as your host family . I just remembered that you only went in downtown by yourselves once. All i just want to say is for you to be thankful of what is so much that is offered to you for free and to appreciate the hospitality that is being offered to you at the fullest...i hope that if you will have another host family, they can offer you more than i offered and can handle the attitude you have shown to us as your host family.
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?

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?
