It was OK. Just the minimum you expect.

My stay in Vancouver coincided with the change of house of Arlene and her family.
This created me some discomfort. There was disorder and confusion around. At the same time the room where I lived was clean and had everything I needed. For all my requests Arlene responded quickly and readily to my needs. Arlene, is a very caring woman, kind and ready to satisfy every kind of request. He often prepared Asian dishes and very good sandwiches. I really appreciated this attention, also because it was not planned.
The area is quiet and well connected by transport to reach the city.
Arlene also took me back to the airport at my departure. A very generous gesture.
I had forgotten the keyboard of my tablet and she was very kind to send it to me by post.
A trusted person who knows how to take care of his guests.

There is everything. What you expect, they have.(except sampoo, hairconditional, bodywash and so on) I felt comfortable when I stayed here. Room is a bit cold(because of the window). For me, it was fine. Owner is really kind.

Arlene e sua família foram simpáticos e educados. Em certa ocasião chegaram a me levar para um café da manhã e passeio pelo Stanley Park, o que achei bastante amável da parte deles. A casa recebe frequentemente estudantes de diversas partes do mundo e, sempre que um sai, chega outro. Achei a casa um pouco barulhenta em algumas situações, com gritos e correria de crianças, mas nada que tenha atrapalhado grandemente a minha experiência. Fiquei apenas 8 dias e talvez por mais tempo isso possa ser um incômodo maior. Arlene também foi muito amável ao se dispor a me levar ao aeroporto em meu retorno para casa. Ressalto que a residência se encontra em local tranquilo, de ótima localização e acesso fácil a qualquer parte da cidade (cerca de 15 minutos do skytrain e 3 minutos do ponto de ônibus). Em resumo, tirando a questão do barulho de crianças frequentemente na casa, recomendo esse homestay e agradeço por toda a cordialidade.
