An independent homestay for ESL students in Ottawa: a quiet, friendly
study house where you cook your own meals. It’s like homestay for
grown-ups. Homestay mum is Canadian, of British heritage, a freelance
children’s writer and copy editor who is happy to help with ESL
homework questions or English conversation practice.

I host two students at a time. Each student has her own private
bedroom upstairs. One room is available on April 1, and the other room
will be available July 11, 2008.

Enjoy a furnished bedroom (including bedding, large desk, lamp, TV,
radio, dresser, mirror, small bookcase, large closet with hangers),
fully equipped kitchen and large dining room (cook whatever you like
whenever you like), living room with a stereo and a good piano that
you are welcome to play, two bathrooms, a laundry room, and a back
yard with patio table and chairs.

One-minute walk to the bus stop.
Two-minute walk to a natural creek and a hiking path with a park at
either end.
Ten-minute walk to an indoor pool and a baseball diamond / ice-skating
rink.

food), dollar store, KFC, Tim Horton’s, Canada Trust.

Ten-minute bus ride to South Keys Mall (Loblaws, Wal-Mart, Bulk Barn,
