Barbara and Charlie are more than great hosts. We came to Ireland two months ago and they were more than welcoming from the moment we entered the house. They were attentive, friendly and helpful with advice on getting around which was especially useful when we were looking for a job and finding best places to shop at. There is a beautiful park in front, neighborhood is peaceful, house is vast, the room was beautiful and cosy. We highly recommend this host to any guest! Iva and George

Probably more suitable for students/ if you are out early till very late, we found it to be 2 or 2-1/2 stars -
one twin room bed was up against the radiator, not ideal when the heat is on, no hot water unless the central heating is on, cold tap in the downstairs loo not working, shower a bit of a dibble. This room isn't great if you are a light sleeper - as the stairs & floors creak & you can hear the tv in the family living room TV (probably not a problem upstairs) plus the front door gets banged a lot early in the morning.
The kitchen was great & I appreciated being able to use it a little bit, but it was a bit awkward going in as you have to go through the family's living room while the tv is on. Barbara warmed up a bit at the end. I would try homestay elsewhere but more likely to try B&B options.September 2019

My sister and I enjoyed our stay with Barbara & her husband they are a very nice hospitable couple. Barbara was very kind to us and picked us up from our hotel and after our stay dropped us to the airport.

Had a very cozy long term stay at Barbara and Charlies place. They’re both nice and helpful people. Also the house is located in a very pleasant and safe residential neighborhood. Thank you for the HOME you provided for us.

Welcoming hosts who leave you to get on with your life. Spatious and clean room very close to bus stops with direct routes to city centre. Would definitely recommend this homestay.

I can't describe with the perfect words how amazing was to stay in their house. I was there for 5 weeks. Barbara and Charlie are those kind of people you always want by your side, they are kind and helpful. They are always trying to make you feel like in your own home. They don't have a schedule here, if you want to cook, have a shower or things like that you can do it when you want. If I come back I don't have any doubt I would choose this family again. Im very grateful for everything always in my heart!

Barbara and Charlie are very nice and welcoming people who can help you. The house is well placed, close to the bus and some food shop. I highly recommend them for short or long travel.

Bonjour, ma fille Léa (18 ans) a séjourné 7 semaines chez Barbara et Charlie. En tant que parent, nous sommes très contents de la bienveillance de Barbara, c'était important de sentir quelqu'un qui veillait sur Léa. La maison est grande, bien située pour accéder rapidement au centre de Dublin. Un immense merci à Barbara et Charlie, grâce à eux, Léa gardera un super souvenir de l'Irlande !
