Home away from home

Welcome to your Canadian home away from home! We are so excited to open our doors (and our fridge) to you! Nestled in a safe, quiet neighbourhood in West Edmonton, our house puts you practically next door to the action—just a quick 1.5-block stroll to the legendary West Edmonton Mall and 2 blocks from the main bus terminal. Whether you're heading to class, grabbing dinner, or exploring the city, getting around couldn't be easier. We are an outgoing, experienced host family of four who absolute love welcoming international students and travellers. If this is your first time in Canada, don't worry—we’ll make sure you don't freeze, get lost, or miss out on the best local spots! What Your Space Looks Like: Sunlit & Cozy: 2 fully furnished bedrooms with comfortable Queen beds and tons of natural sunlight. A master bedroom with a private bathroom on the 2nd floor and a nice-sized bedroom in the basement with a shared bathroom with 1 person. All the Essentials: Fast Wi-Fi, full laundry access, and all the coffee/tea you need to power through study sessions. Kitchen Perks: Full access to the fridge and kitchen space. Vibe: Peaceful, clean, and relaxed—a perfect place to unwind. More Than Just a Place to Sleep (Your Local Life Line!): Moving to a new country can feel like a puzzle, but you won't have to figure it out alone. We’re always happy to help you tackle the "new life" checklist, including: Setting up your local cell phone plan Opening a Canadian bank account Registering for Alberta Health Care Figuring out work permits and local transit routes Plus, as an educator, I’m always up for helping you practice your English or Chinese—whether you're working on an essay or just chatting over tea! We love tag-along buddies for mall runs, local events, or weekend outings, but we always respect your space and quiet time whenever you need to recharge. If you’re looking for a warm, supportive, and fun landing pad in Edmonton, we’d love to welcome you as part of our extended family. Drop us a line—we can't wait to meet you!
