Large family home, close to excellent transport links to both the city centre and the sea side (Howth & Malahide).
My twin daughters have now flown the nest, so I have two large double bedrooms available. Downstairs, we have a large sitting room at the front of the house, a second smaller sitting room adjacent and a very large kitchen-diner looking out onto the garden. The garden is west facing, so during the summer months we have the sun here from early morning until late evening and there's plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy an al fresco dinner!
I'm very friendly, and would offer as much help as possible during your stay, be it about Dublin or great places to visit in Ireland. I'll do my very best to ensure your stay in Dublin is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

About the Area
The house is set in a quiet suburb, a little out from the city centre and 10 minutes drive from the airport, dependingon traffic. A bus stops 5 mins from the house, and would have you in the city centre in 25-30 mins. Upon walking about 10 minutes from the house, you will find a main road with 5 more bus routes directly into the city centre (again 20-30 mins).
You will find a DART station 20 mins walk from the house, where you can travel by train to the sea side towns of Howth and Malahide in 10-15 mins. You can also travel to the city centre on the DART which takes about 20 mins. This service also travels to the south side of Dublin to sea side towns such as Dalkey and Dun Laoighre.

Tina, she is an absolutely wonderful woman. Very kind, helpful like a real mother. You can book with your eyes closed. I'm so glad to bump into her. If you're friendly you can chat easily with her and improve your English if it's your aim or just talk about the life.
She lives close the stop bus 15 or 26, you can easily go to the city center of Dublin, that's useful.
Thank you Tina for everything, hope see you soon.

Tina was an enthusiastic and sociable host, who showed a lot of care to me during my stay. I was so delighted to experience that she definitely wants her guests to feel comfortable in her house. She was also ready to help me whenever I needed help. I would highly recommend her as a host to anybody

Tina is a very lovely lady who helped me throughout my stay. I enjoyed our small talks and watching Wimbledon tennis matches together. She is so passionate about what she does, she cares for her tenants dearly, and give all the support and guidance you could ask for. I'm really grateful I stayed at her home through homestay. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and everyone I know . Thank you Tina. Much love, Sam.
