Conan is very gentlmen, always avaible.
Ann is nice. I stayed 2 months without problem. The place is very quiet, but 12 km of the center, near Howt.July 2017
My mum and I stayed at Ann's and Connor's for five lovely days.
Both of them were very friendly and very obliging hosts. Connor picked us up at the airport, prepared the breakfast every morning to our delight and even brought us to a bus stop early in the morning when the public transport wasn't running yet.
Ann was always asking how we spent our day and whether we had any wishes. They even have us helpful recommendations what to do around Dublin.
The house was very tidy and cosy. Our room was clean, cosy and aesthetically furnished.
Nina the dog was so cute, we immediately fell in love with her!
The house is in a lovely area at Howth, with a convenient connection to the city centre as well as lovely walks all around.
We really enjoyed our stay with Ann and Connor and highly recommend them as hosts!June 2017

The room is very comfortable and very clean.
We will be back!March 2017
We loved Ann and Conner, so very welcoming and interesting we had an amazing time with them, excellent hosts will definitely be back to see them. The accommodation is so beautiful they showed us around the area and helped us to get anywhere we wanted to go, even picked us up at the airport. We had a brilliant time in the local area as well as Dublin which is so close and easy to get too. Can't recommend staying with them enough we had a fantastic weekend. Many thanks Ann and Conner xx

The Howth area is beautiful and for that reason we enjoyed being in that area. Our host, Conor was charming and helpful in every way except for not letting us off the hook for staying the second night. The room was uncomfortable and dirty and had a stale, artificial stench. There was dust and mildew on everything and the linens on the uncomfortable bed did not appear fresh. I had an allergy attack right way. There were no amenities in the room not even a box of Kleenex let alone a place to put your suitcase, a table or a second chair, tv, radio or bottle of water. Conor was nice and accommodating by bringing in a card table and another chair so we could play cards while we sat in the room. The rest of the house had the air of being off limits. Ann was unfriendly and awkward. She didn't seem to like having people in her house. Conor however, was a good host and we thoroughly enjoyed their sweet dog, Nina.
Host reply
We are very disappointed and surprised that Claudette would write such a vindictive and untruthful review which appears to be based on, to use her own words " for not letting us off the hook for staying the second night". We had already obliged Claudette by giving her a two night booking, as our site states minimum booking three nights. We felt it was not too much to ask of Claudette to honour the two night booking she had made.
I can assure Homestay and other guests that there is absolutly no mildew of any kind in our bedrooms.
Regarding the other complaints:
When a card table and extra chair was requested, it was immediately provided.
If Claudette had correctly read our description on Homestay she would see that no TV or Radio is provided and that tap water can be consumed in the same way as we do.
I offered to take their suitcases out of the room but this was refused.
We have had guests both young and old stay with us for over ten years and have had no complaints. I would suggest any intending guests read the review written by a guest who stayed with us recently for ten days.
Regarding uncomfortable beds, again I am surprised as Claudette and her sister did not appear until almost twenty minutes to eleven for breakfast having slept so soundly on their second night.
I am very taken aback that such a mature person as Claudette would write such a vindictive and untruthful review,Conor & Ann

Me and my son stayed with Ann and Conor for 10 days and that was my best experience with hosts. They are probably one of the best hosts in Dublin. So warm, kind, friendly,helpfull... Beautifull family and beautifull and clean home. It's only 35 minutes by bus from city center, and neiberhood is quite with beautifull nature all around..
I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much on everything Ann and Conor. It was a pleasure to meet you and hope we will meet again!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
