I had a wonderful experience staying at Maree and Geoff's place ! Really sociable people that will make everything to make you confortable, as if you were at your own place ! They will always make sure you're aware of what's happening in the city to not miss any event or activity. It was my first time experiencing homestaying - first time coming to Canada too - and I can tell it was one of the best experience in my life. By the way, Geoff cooks like a chef and Wally is a friendly and very funny dog. I really recommend them if you would like to stay in Ottawa !
