If you are coming to Montreal to learn English, you can live comfortably with Hilda and Peter in their house in central Montreal, practice speaking English at home every day and learn more about life in Canada. Hilda teaches English in a school for new Canadians and Peter teaches folkloric dancing in a community centre. Hilda loves to go cross country skiing in winter and kayaking and hiking in summer. Peter and Hilda invite the homestay guests to share these activities if they want. You will have your own private bedroom, and will share the kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, living room, garden, washing machine and dryer. Hilda and Peter live very close to the Snowdon Metro Station, on a quiet tree-lined street near many convenient shops, cafes and bus routes. High speed internet is included. You will keep your own room clean but a housekeeper comes once a week to help clean the common areas. Meals are not included (we don't give breakfast, lunch or supper) but we supply basic items like sugar, flour, spices, soap, towels and sheets. It will be easy for you to buy the food you want and to cook in the shared kitchen. PLEASE NOTE: the homestay fee has 2 parts. One part, paid to Hilda, is $690 CAD for 30 days. You can pay for the first 30 days when you arrive in our home. The other part is the fee you will pay online to HOMESTAY.COM website for their service. That fee stays with HOMESTAY.COM, and is separate from the fee that you will pay Hilda. BEFORE YOU PAY THE FEE TO HOMESTAY.COM online, please contact Hilda to check if the room is still available for you. Thank you. Hilda Smolash

We do not provide meals but we happily share the kitchen, and it's easy for you to buy your food. A supermarket and many shops and cafés are 2 minutes walk from our home. Our home is on a quiet street. Please keep your room clean, and clean the kitchen after you use it. No perfume please.
