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.

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.

We stayed at Irene's place for 5 days. It was a great stay! Irene welcomed us warmly. She is a very kind, sociable and she was there for whatever we needed. Her breakfasts was delicious! Rich, with homemade Jam and apple tarts! The house was in a strategic point to visit all the city. We strongly recommend Irene's place and we will be back indeed!

Fantástica nuestra estancia en casa de Irene. Esta es mi opinión que comparten las otras tres personas que estuvieron alojadas conmigo. Irene hace todo lo posible para que te sientas como en tu propia casa y lo consigue. Super atenta, amable, servicial,..en los pocos días que estuvimos en su casa te das cuenta de que es una fantástica persona. Te hace unos desayunos espectaculares, la casa limpia no, impoluta. La zona donde está la vivienda muy tranquila y las camas super cómodas. La casa preciosa, le pongo un 10. Esperemos volver pronto porque sin duda la elegiría de nuevo.

Irene is such a lovely woman. As sweet as her delicious homemade jams. I couldn’t ask for more, her hospitality makes you feel home in a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
The house is very clean and the breakfast she prepared for us in the morning was marvellous.
Also, I’m celiac, she bought some gluten free bread which was such as unexpected as fabulous surprise.
The position is great, less than 10 minutes from the centre with the local bus.
Definitely recommend.Host reply
Thanks girl's.

Thanks to Irene for ensuring our stay in Dublin was delightful and top class from start to end! Irene, you are simply amazing, and your house is truly a home-away-from home (with unbelievably comfortable bedding!) Home-made preserves for breakfast a real treat! Would recommend to all! <3

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!
