Details

Description
Our family has enjoyed sharing our home with travelers to hear of there stories, adventures and dreams. For us, it is wonderful to be a part of your travel experience. Hoping to fine someone who would like to come over for a longer period. It's sad to meet nice people and have to say goodbye too soon. We are quiet, respectful, outgoing and cheerful, hope to find the same as a guest. Ready to host, so plan now and message me.

We have a private fully furnished suite newly renovated! I am a hardworking solo father to a daughter 10 and son 7. I take pride in my home and would be happy to have a work away to help me out with food prep, getting kids to and from school and general tasks around the home. If you can teach keyboards, guitar or sports that would be a bonus. I live in a respectful town home, that has a full suite, including internet, TV, seperate bathroom and kitchen, shared laundry room that you would have access to during your stay with us. Someone who is comfortable being with children is a must. During your off time you would have the freedom to explore the lower mainland as we have easy access to transit and live close to many parks lakes trails and even a recreation center.

Victor and his family are one of a kind.
There are no words to describe what a great time we had and how much we miss them already.
Victor is one of the most open-minded, warm-hearted and funniest persons we’ve met and it was a pleasure to experience the families joyful lifestyle during our stay.
Victor would always make sure of our well-being,… read more

I stayed with Victor and his two kids for 3 weeks. Victor is an awesome person, he teached me how to cook, showed me around vancouver and let me use his bicycle to explore the mountains right next to his house. He really wants to make sure that you have a nice time at his place. There wasn't really much to do during the day which made me sometimes… read more

It was great having Moritz stay with us. He is the youngest and by far the tallest person to stay with us lol. That's probably why I talked him with painting my ceilings, I dont think he even used a ladder haha! We used to have a very uneven looking ceiling with water spots from a leak and darkness in the kitchen from cooking. Moritz painted… read more

Sabrina was absolutely wonderful to have as our guest. My kids and I really enjoyed every moment around her as she is so comfortable to be around. I was very impressed with how she communicated her daily activities, her needs, and tasks. Most impressive is how she organized our home. She took the initiative to organize and label my kids cloth… read more

Staying with Victor and the two kids for 2.5 weeks has been such a nice experience! They made me feel very welcome from the first day on! They are a happy family who live in the suburbs in a lovely neighboorhood with immediate access to the public transit system and hiking trails. My tasks included preparing dinner, sometimes making breakfast and… read more
