A three bedroom house in a small friendly cul de sac. Five minutes walk to bus transport and 15 minutes walk to light rail or Dart. If you like to walk then 20minutes will take you to the seashore.I am mid way between Dublin city centre and Bray. Dun Laoghaire, Killiney & Dalkey are just a bus trip away.
I have two single rooms, one of which is ensuite. A regular front garden and large garden to the back. Internet access is available.
I'm a nurse by profession and have hosted many students over the past eight years. I have an extended family who visit regularly of all ages. However generally the house is quiet & relaxing.

Additional Info

Sunday to Friday morning accommodation is also an option.

    Deirdre is a great host that made me feel at home. I enjoyed to be a guest in her nice, warm and clean home. The best accommodation I could have ever found, buses behind the corner and Dart a few minutes walking. Grazie mille Deirdre!

    Der Aufenthalt bei Deirdre war sehr angenehm. Ich verbrachte 3 Monate in ihren kleinen aber sehr gemütlichen Haus. Deirdre ist eine tolle Gastgeberin und stets hilfsbereit. Außerdem ist sie eine sehr gute und abwechslungsreiche Köchin. Das Haus liegt mit dem Bus ca. 25 Minuten (je nach Verkehr bis zu 50 min) von Dublin City entfernt. Ich kann einen Aufenthalt bei Deirdre nur empfehlen.
