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.
Host reply
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.

Not an homestay, just a bad room rent.
No service written on the Homestay agreement has been done.
We ran away after 2 of 6 months booked.
No refund, the only point of the agreement followed.Host reply
Gabriel, I'm sorry you fell that way about my home. First and foremost I uphold every part of the agreement. You rented a room and a private Bathroom which you had access to at all time. You even had full use of the kitchen and the rest of house. I'm sorry if that wasn't enough for you. But i thank you for stating your opinion and I appreciate.

Hi there,
I stayed at with Dianne for about a month. Dianne is really a friendly and polite person though through her job she's oftenly not at home, so it's not gonna be a stay with that much interaction between you and the host. The home is beautiful, so is the neighborhood! Everything is quite easily to reach e.g. a small shopping mall or bus stations. I really liked it here, but wished some more "family time" with the host to learn some more about the country and to improve my English.
Wish everyone a great stay!
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
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?
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.
