I had a very pleasant stay at Barbara & Charlie's home. They were always very caring and helpful. They have a lovely home which is situated at a very quiet and easily accessible area. My room was very spacious and bright. I loved it. They always keep the house clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend them!

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!November 2020
My son Daniel had an amazing time with Barbara and Charlie. He was very pleased with all the attention received. The couple gave me a piece of mind as a parent. Dan said he was just like part of the family. I will visit them next time I go to Ireland. I HIGHLY and honestly recommend this couple.

Barbara and Charlie were wonderful hosts, always helpful and kind. There are a lot of greenery in the area and the neighborhood is very peaceful. Nearby there are shops and a few minutes on foot Lidl and Tesco. About 10-12 min is to the nearest DART station. I would most definitely recommend a stay with Barbara and Charlie!

Szymon thank you for you lovely review. Hope you and the family are well and safe at this time. We are all doing well as we are all on lockdown. Hope you are keeping up with your studies and it won't be long before you can continue with your path in life wishing you well.

I loved my stay with Barbara and Charlie. Firstly the location was great and very convenient. The buses are very frequent in and out of town and shops are located close by. St Anne's Park is only a mile away with Dollymount Strand also within walking distance. The house is lovely and cosy. Most importantly Barbara and Charlie were so welcoming, accommodating and helpful. I would most definitely recommend a stay with Barbara and Charlie & hope to stay with them again in the future.

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
