I am so glad that I found Sarah and Sathi home on homestay.com, because Sarah and her husband are really friendly and kind people, ready to help. And their house is a nice and clean place, very comfortable and beautiful, located in quiet and safety area. There are a several bus stations close to the house (3-7 minute walking) and grocery stores (10 minutes by bus or 25 walking).

For someone who's new to Canada like me, Sarah and her husband will make you feel right at home. Thank you both for being so warm and for being so patient with answering my never ending questions about this and that. It was lovely staying at your place and I'd suggest this for anyone and everyone looking for a home away from home.
