Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is the main floor of a modest, updated 2 bed character home in beautiful North Vancouver, British Columbia. We have a suite in our basement where our daughter lives while she is at school. She will be available if you need help while you are in our home. We are business owners of 2 local popular cafes and Jackie is a Laboratory Technologist. Our home is on the Northshore mountains overlooking the city of Vancouver. We are close to excellent public transportation with the Seabus into downtown Vancouver a 20 min walk or 5 min busride away. Lots of places for walking and hiking and the famous North Shore mountain biking is 5 to 10 minutes away. We also have 2 e-bikes to use. We have a cat and a 2 year old VERY friendly Golden Retriever. We can have our daughter tend the animals if you wish.
