Its a great house and a perfect place if you are student, because they have a lot of expeerience with international students. but there is just one problem, you cant cook in the kitchen and you need to buy food always in the streeth.
Host reply
Thank you Angel for your review. If you read my profile from the homestay.com website you will see that there is no cooking allowed in my home, so you should understand that before you book with us. Thanks.

Phil & Mehrshid were great hosts welcoming all the time I was there. As I did not hire a car it was easy to catch the local bus that stopped very near to house, also to get into Vancouver itself as well as get to some of the local attractions.
Phil was great to talk to with loads of local info, I would definitely use them again if I visited Vancouver.Host reply
Thank you Richard. We remember you and all our chats about England and worldly matters. It was our pleasure have an Englishman and a gentleman. You are welcome to my home anytime.

Very welcoming hosts :) I stayed with phil and merited while I was working on the mountain for spring break. Very much out of my comfort zone. Phil was brilliant, chatted to me every day when I got home from work welcomed me and made me feel settled. He's also a big tennis fan which is fab! Home away from home :) i would absolutely stay with them again!!
Host reply
Thank you Beccy, thank you for your excellent review.
You are a wonderful young lady, well mannered and frank. It was wonderful chatting to you every evening when you were back home from work, in all the time. We shared many stories about my good old England. You will be welcomed into our home anytime. Good luck.
