Our accommodation was a very pleasant experience, in a very clean and welcoming home at all times. Barbara, was super kind and affectionate with us, in addition to always helping us when we needed help or had a problem. We recommend 100% this accommodation for those who want to have a comfortable and pleasant stay. In addition, the house has a good location, with access to transport 24 hours a day, near the center of Dublin and with supermarkets nearby.

Barbara and Charlie have been amazing since my arrival all the way until my departure! They have been so helpful with everything and I could ask them any question if something came up. It was always really clean and the area is really nice and central as well. Great bus connections into the centre and up north as well! I would 100% recommend staying there!

Barbara and Charlie have been lovely hosts. At all times, did they make the effort to ensure a clean and tidy house. The nearby bus station connects the house wonderfully to the city centre. Every time I needed something fixed, e.g. lightbulbs, Barbara and Charlie took care of it as soon as possible. They are family people. Grandchildren and children often come to visit, which was never unpleasant. All worries from before my stay turned out to be easy solvable as the hosts are very straightforward. I would definitely stay with them again and can also recommend this homestay for everyone.

My stay at Barbara and Charle's house was perfect.
I felt at home. They are always available to answer any question and to help us. The neighborhood is super quiet, with a bus route just 2min from their house that also runs at the all night.
I wish I could stay longer, however it was available the 40 days I stayed. Otherwise, I would stay there until the end of my exchange.

Barara and Charlie are lovely people.
I and my husband spent a 3 month period with them and we had a great time with their family.
Their house is spacious and the family did all best to make us feel at home.
Despite being a sharing place, we could find the freedom needed to live in our way.
The family was always open to help when we needed and gave tips and advice for our daily life in Dublin. The localization of the house is pretty much good. Easy walking distance access to various bus lines and Dart. There is a small mall close to the house and supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants around as well.
Stay with that family was an important and unforgetble experience in our relocating to Ireland.
I strongly recommend their house for further interested guests. Thank you again guys for everything!
