Victoria Homestay Host # 9321

Me and my husband had been students in countries away from our home country. We know how much students miss their home and look for a homely environment in new place. Once we got our own place we thought of providing an international student home awa walking, watching TV/movies, making friends, reading The best feature of this neighbourhood is its easy accessibility to university and other schools and still being near to nature. The house is on the Lochside drive trail that goes all the way to Sidney. Nice place for outdoor activities while being in Victoria. Though the room does not have a TV at the moment but if the student is interested that can be arranged. I do feel that watching TV together will be better for the student to feel at home.

In the evenings we generally relax and watch TV or socialze online with friends. This house is brand new – less than one year since we moved in.

Three of the walls are painted fire-enginge red, while the third wall is painted in checkerboard black and white squares. One of the best features of the room is that it has its own private balcony outside leading from the room through a door that is full length glass and able to be locked for security.
