    In my last few months in Dublin, I really did find a home away from home with Áine and Brian. The two of them are lovely people who very warmly welcomed me into their home. They always tried to give me as much privacy as possible but were also there for me whenever I needed anything. I enjoyed chatting with them and think that I also learned a lot about Ireland from our talks. I will miss them very much and would recommend anyone to stay with them :)

    I really enjoyed my stay at the Butler's! Aine and Brian made me feel at home since the very first day. They are the perfect hosts - welcoming, kind, fun, and always happy to have a chat and share their outlook on life. They really care about their guests and are great at recommending places to see and things to do. I'm really going to miss having them around. I wish them and their family all the best for the future!

    Aine and Brian are a really lovely couple, with whom I had many interesting discussions. They respected my privacy while making me feel at home. They are really great people.

    Aine and Brian are the most respectful and kind people. I enjoyed our conversations so much and I had such great time with them. Concerning the house, it's clean, adorable, and has everything you need in it.
    You have your own space and privacy.
    The area is really quiet and you can find bus stations near to the house.
    I recommend this house to respectful people as well. You can't be disappointed!
    Thank you for everything again Aine and Brian. I will miss you.

    The neighborhood is really nice, quiet and peaceful. super close to groceries shop, mall, bus stop and supermarkets. Aine and Brian are absolutely amazing hosts, they are willing to help you any time you need it, great advisors in regards to places of interest and tours you may want to do. We shared great conversations. I hope to stay with you again in the future.
    Thank you for everything!

    Aine and Brien are wonderful people and I enjoyed the whole time I lived with them. From the very beginning I felt very welcome and comfortable, practically like at home. I think that in their home I had the perfect balance between being independent and knowing that, if something happened, they would help me in any way they could. Thank you very much to both of you for the months together, the conversations and kindness. I wish you all the best and a lot of happiness:)

    Aine and Brian are a fantastic couple. They welcomed me to their home very warmly. Usually, I'm shy at the beginning with people I don't know, but Aine couldn't perceive this trait of character in me, because she makes me so comfortable in their house. I felt like at home.
    The house is perfectly clean. You have a shelf in the fridge and in the freezer. Tout have also shelves for your food. You have access to the washing machine and the kitchen whenever you want. You only share the upstairs bathroom with the other guest. The double room I occupied is perfectly clean, well appointed, very comfortable and bright.
    Aine is curious about you and interested in your life and your day. She is also very curious to learn new things from your culture.
    The house is located in a quiet residential area and very well connected with a bus stop a few meters from the house.
    The city center is easily accessible with the bus that passes near the house. There are also 2 parks right next door. There is a shopping center just 10-15minutes walk from the house, and shops for food easily accessible on foot or by bus.
    Before coming, I knew I wanted to stay in their house thanks to the good comments I had seen online, I had a good feeling and I didn't make a mistake. I highly recommend Aine and Brian, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again, both of you.

    I loved my stay at the Butler's. They are so nice, caring and always happy to talk with you about various subjects. I had an amazing time with them and laughed a lot. I can fully recommend staying with them to everyone.
    Thanks a million, Aine and Brian!
