They went above and beyond with the introduction to Vancouver which we really appreciated. Thank you so much for everything Norlene and John. Kindest regards, Janet and Charlie

Read More...John and Norlene left their house in a very clean and organised way and we could move in without any problems. It was very handy that they had shown us some "ins and outs" earlier when we arrived in Canada, and had offered us a two days hospitality stay. Three weeks later, when we arrived for the "exchange", the house was in immaculate condition with even some meals left in the freezer if we would need that. We will try to be just as accommodating on your exchange in 2019

Read More...John and Norlene's home was amazing. Spacious, full of light, clean and tidy, well looked after, wonderful views over the city and towards the mountains and just a lovely place to live for a few weeks. There were so many things to do locally but we also ventured further afield and their home was a great base. They were so good at communicating whilst setting up and fine tuning the exchange and so everything fell into place easily. We had a fantastic time and loved Vancouver. Many thanks to both John and Norlene.

Read More...We had a lovely time in John and Norlene's home, it was very spacious and well equipped, we had everything we needed for a comfortable break in Vancouver BC. It was especially nice to sit on the deck in the evening and watch the sun setting over the local neighbourhood and downtown in the distance.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is quiet and well cared for. We have a small triangle park at the end of our block and a larger park with a running track and children's play area three blocks west of our home. Further west is another large park and community centre with fitness facilities. There is a cluster of local shops (including a bakery and a general store) nearby and a bus route to downtown only one block away.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our home is about 20 minutes from downtown, about 20 minutes from Vancouver Airport and about 30 minutes from the #1 highway to the Rocky Mountains and points east. Whistler is about a two and a half hour drive away along the beautiful Sea to Sky highway. Vancouver offers beaches, mountains, parks, shops and a wide variety of outdoor activities. Its port is the departure point for cruises to Alaska.
