Dianne's home is located in a beautiful area. It is bright and spacious. There are systems in place for co-living and everything is organised well. Dianne is a generous host and a warm person. She makes the effort to show you around and despite a tight work schedule, she tries to spend time with guests but also respects privacy. I had a really nice time living in her home. Her kids are great and there is also a wonderful cat named Chelsea. I would definitely love to stay in her home again and would recommend it as a good homestay.

Dianne has a beautiful house and a beautiful heart. I enjoyed my time staying at her place. It is a comfortable and respecfull environment to live in. She is really friendly, kind, always tries to help and really cares for the people around her. I had the chance to do some activities with Diane, like hiking on the Lynn Canyon park, and I always had a good time around her. I recommend her place for anyone coming to Vancouver.

Dianne has a beautiful, big, clean and tidy house. The rules of coexistence are basic and based on respect. In addition, she was a very kind and cooperative person during the time I shared with her. She was always available to support me on my arrival and accommodation in Canada, which is why I came to regard her with great affection as my surrogate mother. I would recommend her home to anyone planning to go to Vancouver.

Hello, I stayed at Dianne’s home for two weeks, and I enjoyed every day of my stay. She is amazing! What a great host! She is so caring and kind. Even though she has a full schedule, she did take time to check in with me to ensure I had everything I needed. It was a pleasure getting to know Dianne. I'm grateful for Dianne's wisdom and for sharing her faith with me. The house is very spacious and clean. I had my own privacy with a private bathroom and a clean room. So I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Good. Room is so big and clean.
Bad. Rent is too expensive.
家の周りには何もなくダウンタウンまでは1時間かかるので立地も不便です。 彼女は仕事が忙しいのでコミニュケーションを取る暇がなく、英会話の勉強をしたい人には向いていません。

I had a wonderful stay in Dianne's home. First of all, the house is awesome and very big. I had my own privacy. There is the Lynn Valley Center you can walk to, with nice coffee shops, stores and all you could need. The bus is 10 minutes distance walk, to go to Downtown easily. Dianne took me to the Canyon with the Suspension Bridge, it was very nice and we had a lot of fun. Her friend showed me the neighbourhood too. Dianne is busy as she works a lot, but her friend was always available for any question, as well as her, when I asked her. So I would recommend this place for sure, and will definitely be back!

PROS:
- The house was pretty clean and the room we had was good.
- Fair price regarding the neighbourhood.
- From time to time, E. (Diane’s friend) shared some food with us.CONS:
- No refund possible.
- Washing machine and dryer’s access, only once a week even for a couple.
- Noisy
- Host’s behaviour.
Diane is a cold and distant person. We are open minded people and we understand that her job was very tiring and that we were not her friends, just roommates. Nonetheless, we really felt like she talked to us mostly out of her interest.
By the end of our rental, we had to go back as soon as possible to France because of a tragic event in my family and we had to sell the car quickly. However they tried to take advantage of the situation and negotiate. We were open to the negotiation but every time we accepted their new offer, they found new excuses to get it even cheaper. We really thought that they were going to buy it and instead of saving time, we lost valuable time and money because we were not refunded for the rest of the month.
Eventually, my boyfriend had to stay longer and I had to go back to France alone. Because of them, he missed my father’s funerals.Unfortunately, they did not have the Canadian’s state of mind.

Sorry you felt that's your experience wasn't good enough. I enjoy having you around and I'm truly sorry about your dad. I had nothing to do with your boyfriend missing your dad's funeral. To blame me for something I did not do, is simply not fair. I know you're hurting and for that I'm very sympathetic with you. I did not want to buy the car. I was doing it as a favor. Thanks for this wonderful review. I love having you as my guest and the kids did too.
