    A warm and devoted family that I will never forget.
    I spent 3 months with Niamh, Edmund, their daughter and their funny dog and I couldn't have hoped for a better stay with a host family. Sharing, fun, freedom and discovery, thank you again for everything...
    P.S. : the neighbourhood is really great, close to the city town and very well served by public transport.

    Just like being at home, just like being with your own family. That’s how amazing it is.

    I couldn't have done better during my five weeks in Dublin. Niamh, Edmund, their daughter and their dog are a super loving, open-minded and accommodating family who contribute a lot to international exchange by hosting young foreigners in Dublin. I felt very comfortable during my stay here and was able to experience Irish culture first-hand in a family. They gave me the freedom and space you want as a young person, but I was also able to integrate very well into their family life. Clean and well equipped household, most beautiful neighbourhood in Dublin, best location and wonderful family. I can only recommend booking with Niamh and Edmund! Thank you for everything!

    I had a lovely stay at Niamh's place! They were really welcoming and it felt like my own family for 4 months! I would love to stay there again!

    Niamh and her husband Edmund will go completely out of their way to make you feel welcomed, cared for and loved. Truly could not recommend this homestay more! Came to Ireland as a young student starting an internship who didn't know anyone in the country, and by the time I left, I was in tears saying goodbye to a family that treated me as one of their own. Miss them already (and the 7 year old of course )

    Niamh and her family were wonderful hosts. Very warm and welcoming. Thorough knowledge of Dublin. Home is in a prime location, and close to all amenities. Exceeded expectations. Great experience!

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.

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.
