The beautiful house, my room with private bathroom, the garden, the kitchen use, just everything was excellent. Located in a very nice and quite residential area. Maria and her family were very friendly, easy going and helpful. I felt like I was at home. You can find everything you need nearby, including a variety of buses to the center. If I travel to Vancouver again I will definitely choose this location again. Maria and family, thank you very much.

I had a wonderful stay with Maria! My room was very clean and comfortable and the house is located in a beautiful area with excellent travel connections to UBC and Downtown. Maria and her family are lovely people, and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed/answer any questions I had. If you are new to Vancouver, I would highly recommend booking with Maria.

I am not gonna write an epistle for this Homestay but I’m just gonna say this.. I had booked Maria’s place for 3 weeks, but ended up staying 3 months! The Proust House is all shade of amazing.. loved loved loved my time here, plus Maria’s left over fancy dishes from her fancy dinners with friends and family .. Xoxo Peggy

Maria is kind and warm-hearted, and her house is located in a tranquil neighborhood which is convenient to bus station, save-on-food, UBC(the new mayor of Vancouver was graduated from it) and so on.
I extremely recommend you who is looking for the room to be Maria’s tenant, because it will be a nice experience.
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.

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.
