Austin and Ewa are a lovely couple. Very welcoming. Austin was very helpful when we visited for a birthday weekend in September 2015. He provided us with all the facilities we had been expecting and was most friendly chatting amongst us and other international visitors when we made use of the hot tub. The location is away from Dublin centre but this is not a bad thing. There is local nightlife which is filled with local Dubliners, who are the most friendly people - and the drinks are also much cheaper than those in Temple Bar area. There is also local food. Shopping facilities and public transport all in easy walking distance. Needless to say we are returning to stay with Austin and Ewa in March 2016 and we don't need a birthday for encouragement. Dublin, supported by these fantastic hosts, is a delightful Irish break for everyone.
