Your homestay hosts Margaret and Danny grew up in Vancouver for most of their lives.

They each grew up and have been living in the same neighbourhood for over 40 years and are now raising their 4 children in the same area. Their neighbourhood is lively and enriched with boutiques, coffee shops and recreational facilities. They are very knowledgeable of the sights and scenes of Vancouver and never too busy to help their guests get around the Lower Mainland.

Margaret is 44 and enjoys cooking, music, biking, socialising, travel, learning foreign languages and gardening.

Danny is 51 and enjoys travel and television.

They have hosted students from many countries, i.e. Saudi Arabia, Korea, Japan, Netherlands, China, Switzerland, Taiwan, Mexico, Germany, Colombia, Belgium and France. Their home is very accessible by transit (Zone 1), so travelling downtown only takes about 15-20 minutes, also 10 minutes by bus to Langara College and 30 minutes to UBC. The rooms are fully furnished and wireless internet is available throughout their home. They enjoy opening their home to students and having them become part of their family.

    I stayed there for about 4 months - and I Reality enjoyed it! If you're looking for a lovely and very careful family, you should definitely go there.
    The area is perfect for everyone since the infrastructure is very good and close - therewith you can get anywhere pretty fast and there are a lot of possibilities to so sports and have outdoor fun.
    Besides that the house and its rooms are clean and comfortable - you can just fehl like home and I didn't miss a thing.
    So 5 Stars for everything :)

    Margaret's Homestay is awesome. Such as eating in a restaurant meal. As pro-family friendly. Thanks to the good life in Canada was able to start. Thanks to Margaret and all the family. Facilities as well as mood and eating, and going out with my family, etc. Everything that is fun. And the children too pretty. Wherever I go I will never see this family again.

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.

When can I share my contact details?
