Dear Homestay Community: There basically aren't any complaints regarding my stay at Paul and Jackie’s residence. I could easily compare it with a private accommodation in a hostel, but at a much better price. Both Paul and Jackie were very helpful and talkative, so I learned quite many useful tips about enjoying Dublin (most notably in connection with Temple Bar and nearby area). Breakfasts were nothing short of luxurious and prepared in advanced daily. Rooms were spacious and clean (I “tested” two of them), while linen were regularly changed. There is only one consideration which should be mentioned since some people aren’t particularly fond of walking and/or driving. Both distances (to the center of Bray and to the center of Dublin) are quite lengthy, the first being around 20 minutes on foot and the latter being approximately 1 hour with a bus. That doesn’t have much to do with the accommodation itself, but it’s worth noting if one desires truly relaxing vacation. All in all, a five stars (ups, hearts) choice! I wish you all the best of luck with your travels and further cooperation with homestay.com services. Jan K. from Slovenia

Dear Homestay Community: It has been almost a month since my arrival to Dublin and Philip’s residence. I reached it with the help of a taxi, which cost approximately 20 euros (from Dublin Airport). I was actually following Philip’s advice and upon our meeting he also served me a tasty stew with some bread and a dessert. Afterwards he explained the rules of living in his house and took me around the neighborhood. He was quite helpful during my stay and that made my first experience with this sort of accommodation very pleasant. Room was large enough for me and as clean as I kept it. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case with the kitchen but I ate only breakfast there so that didn’t bother me much. If one is sensitive about such things or intends to prepare more meals for herself/himself I would advise a thorough clean-up. Bathroom was tidy enough. I have no further remarks regarding Philip’s house and staying with him. Price of accommodation was good (approximately 20 euros per night). As far as the distance to city center is concerned it shouldn’t take you more than 40 minutes with Dublin Bus (I preferred No. 15). I wish you all the best of luck with your travels and further cooperation with homestay.com services. Jan K. from Slovenia
