You will be guests in our beautiful home which we make available on a bed & breakfast basis, with limited use of the kitchen. Our home is situated in an area of north Dublin known as Cabra. It is just 2 kilometres to the city centre and local transport is now even better with the extension of the Luas line, Dublin's light rail system which takes just 20 minutes to take you into O'Connell Street. We are located right by the new campus of The Dublin Institute of Technology home to the new urban centre of Grangegorman. We are a relaxed couple and can offer you either a double bedroom complete with TV and WiFi and/ or a single bedroom. You will have access to a private bathroom right by the bedrooms. Access to the kitchen in the evenings is prohibited but I will provide toast, cereal, tea, coffee and juice during the week.

House Rules
Our home runs smoothly as a bed & breakfast option and I do not allow cooking in my kitchen. We can discuss use of space in the fridge and an option to make light snacks. However, this needs to be done on a case by case basis and needs to be agreed in advance of booking and arrival.
Guests have access to the washing machine once a week for light washing.
Thanks Irene

I had an awesome stay with Irene! The location is great; I had an enjoyable walk into the city centre. Irene and Jimmy are lovely people and it was so nice to have tea and chat with them when I arrived. The bed was extremely comfortable and the house was very clean. I felt very welcome as a guest. The breakfast was really good. I would definitely recommend staying here!

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.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). 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. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
