We live in Mount Pleasant, which is central Vancouver, and close to many amenities, including restaurants, shopping, community centers, libraries, swimming pools, and is a short 15min bus ride to downtown Vancouver. We live within 1-5 blocks of 3 different transit stops that will take you anywhere in Vancouver (east/west, north/south, downtown Vancouver, Metrotown, skytrains). Schools that are close by transit include UBC, Langara College, Douglas College, BCIT, SFU Downtown, Vancouver Community College, and many international schools located Downtown Vancouver.

We have 1 private room available in a separate suite for homestay guests on the main floor that includes a shared bathroom, shared kitchen, and shared living space for the students that is separate from the family space upstairs - you would be daring with 1 other student. Your private room includes a double bed (with high end 'Endy' memory foam mattress), nightstand, desk, dresser, closet, and full length mirror. THIS ROOM IS AVAILABLE AS OF JANUARY 1 2020.

We have 2 young children, ages 6 months and 2 years, and have a dog, Izzy, who is 10 years old and very friendly and cuddly. We enjoy outdoor activities that include hiking, going to the beach, swimming, enjoying city parks, skiing/snowboarding and water sports. We also enjoy quiet time reading at home, going to the movies, and walking around the neighborhood. We have visited many different countries and enjoy experiencing other cultures - we have been to Mexico, Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Laos, Japan, Germany and Netherlands.

Our expectation is that our homestay students will become a part of our family dynamic. We hope to hear from you!
