About the Homestay
- Welcomes
- Males
- Females
- Couples
- Families
- Students
I am a single mother of 2 children with a four-bedroom home with plenty of room.
My home is very well located, especially for students at Dublin City University DCU, only 15 minutes walk from home.
My rates include breakfast and dinner. After a busy day, it is nice to catch up over dinner.
Because I am a busy mum, I prefer to host females that are either students or working. Thank you for your understanding:)

Finglas is a fantastic place to live, there is a real sense of community and you'll meet some of the friendliest people here!!
➢ Reasons Why Finglas Is 'The Place' you are looking for
. Location, location, location: We are close to the city centre and it is just a few kilometers from Dublin Airport if you fancied a getaway every now and again. It's basically just up the road.
. It's close to the city centre: Finglas is located very close to the city centre and has a lot of public transport and roads going in and out of Dublin City. Dublin Bus run a lot of services that bring you straight into town including the 40, 40d, 40b, 140 and many more. The bus journeys are not too long either. Bonus.
. Finglas village has expanded over the years and now has a Costa, Centra, local fruit and veg store, cafés and much more. You can get your weekly shopping sorted with just a trip down the road.
. Its amenities: Finglas has a lot to offer for everyone. It has its own sports and leisure centre, a local youth club for kiddies and teens and Charlestown Shopping Centre is just a short distance away and an Odeon cinema.
The shopping centre even has a huge Dunnes Stores perfect for grocery and clothes shopping, a Boots, Eddie Rockets, a Leisureplex for bowling and an Odeon cinema if you fancy seeing a movie from time to time.
Looking forward to meeting you:)

It is good for a short stay but for a long stay (3 months) it is not interesting (you can't cook yourself your meal...). Melissa is very nice and sympathic by the way.

She was very hospitable and the home is very friendly and lovely. The walls are a bit thin, but I would stay there again!
