    Joan and her family are fantastic. Always available to help. Their support was fundamental on my arrival in Ireland, providing peace of mind during the first days in the country. The neighborhood is very quiet and the house is about a 10-minute walk from Luas station. I would definitely recommend staying at Joan's house.

    Dear Joan and Family,

    I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent stay I had at your home. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease, as if I were in the comfort of my own home.

    Your warm hospitality made all the difference during my visit. Not only were you friendly and approachable, but you were also incredibly helpful throughout my stay. It was evident that you genuinely cared about ensuring my comfort and satisfaction.

    I enjoyed your attention to detail and thoughtfulness in providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay. From the cozy accommodations to the thoughtful amenities, I lacked nothing during my time with you.

    Additionally, I am truly grateful for your kind gesture in driving me to the bus stop for my journey to the airport. Your willingness to go above and beyond to ensure my convenience speaks volumes about your exceptional hospitality.

    Overall, my experience at your home was fabulous. I cannot thank you enough for your warmth, kindness, and hospitality. I would highly recommend your home to anyone seeking a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

    Thank you once again for everything.

    The host family were super friendly and helpful, I was even picked up from a bus stop on arrival, although this was not planned. The room was very large and clean, as was the rest of the house, bed linen and towels were included. We had nice conversations and I was greeted in a friendly manner. I would recommend this room to anyone and would return any time.

    It was lovely to stay in Joan's home! I stayed for two months and the family was very welcoming and friendly, answering all of my questions and providing me with exactly what I needed for a home base as I traveled around Ireland. The house was clean and quiet and I was given a lot of privacy. Everything was as described in the photos and descriptions. I would definitely stay here again if/when I return!

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 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

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.
