Shelley was very helpful and resourceful during my 2-months stay at her place. Everything was very clean and it stayed that way during my time there.
The back yard is amazing and it made the experience a ton better, considering the whole Covid 19 situation.Host reply

Shelley is a laid back person, and the communication with her, before and during my stay, was easy and efficient. Her space is nice and just a few steps away from many stores and a Sky Train station.

My time at Shelley’s place has been absolutely great! I arrived here completely new to settle in Vancouver and Shelley helped and supported me a lot through the different processes to get me into a smooth start. She is kind and warm and I’m grateful to have met her. The apartment’s location is perfect, a few steps away from the Skytrain that will get you straight downtown in just a few minutes. Commercial drive right next door is full of great bars and restaurants. Groceries and convenient stores can also be found just minutes away from Shelley’s place.

Hi Shelly!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed my three days in Vancouver thanks to you.
I wasl start my first trip to North America with you, and the good memories will always last long.
Your fresh coffee and your smile are still vivid.
And it's very convenient to move from homestay to downtown and airports.
Thank you for being nice and comfortable.
I'd like to see you again, as an opportunity.
Thank you very much.

벤쿠버 여행을 계획하며 기대반 설렘반으로 처음 시도해본 홈스테이였는데...2주동안의 북미여행중 가장 기억에 남는 시간이었습니다.
지내는 3일동안 정말 내집인듯 편안하게 지냈고
무엇보다 이동을 위한 교통이 너무도 좋았습니다.Host reply
Hyun, The pleasure was mine and so glad we got to share so many stories of our lives over coffee! I hope the rest of your travels were enjoyable and I look forward to our paths crossing again! Thank you sister!
