I would definitely recommend. Ray and Ursula are really helpful and friendly, and the house is lovely. Nice quiet location with plenty of amenities nearby. There is plenty of space in the second lounge area to relax, and I had all the access to the kitchen that I needed.

What a great experience we had! Ray and Ursula are a lovely couple always willing to help us with everything. We happened to become friends and I could not have been more happy for have stayed at their home. The best experience I had in Dublin was getting to know them.

Ursula and Raymond, they're really wonderful people. They made our Dublin trip more lovely and joyful. They gave us a lot of helps and tips for trip. Also, we could feel comfortable in this house. Thanks to Ursula and Raymond, we can have really lovely memories in Dublin.

Ursula and Raymond are lovely Irish people and friendly. When we had any problems or questions about the city, transport or visit, they were very helpfully. The house and room is very clean and functional and like we can see in their ad. We enjoy our time with them and thank you again so much ! We hope we will see you again ! Clara and Robin

We don’t have enough words to say how grateful we are to Raymond and Ursula for the way they hosted us on our first 3 weeks in Ireland. We really felt at home. Moreover, we felt that our privacy was guaranteed during all of our stay.
Ray and Ursula were quick replying by e-mail and upon our arrival they gave us all the information necessary regarding the neighborhood and the ways to get into the city. They were really helpful, friendly and kind.
The house is cozy, and very neat and tidy. Also, the house rules are very clear, and this made everything easier for us.
So, if you want to have a good experience at a homestay, we truly recommend them.Raymond and Ursula, thank you for everything! It was a really nice experience!!

They are lovely people. We felt with them like a part of their family but also they give us our own space. They helped us in everything, They showed us the neighbourhood and beautiful places nearby. Even after leaving their house we are still in touch with them. If you choose them you will not regret for sure!

We stayed over a month. And I strongly recommend them and their house to you. If you choose this house, you'll never regret. Ursular and Ray are very helpful and thoughtful people. The day after we arrived, Ursula showed us around the neighborhood by her car and explain to some places while driving. And she also helped us to buy and charge our leap cards. Their house was so lovely and they always kept it so clean. The room was good enough to stay for 2 peeple. Nothing was lacking and everything was satisfactory. If you have something to ask, they'll answer you kindly. They respected us while we were staying there. We thought them as our parents. Ursula and Ray are so lovely people. We were so much happy for a month. I highly recommend them to you again.
한달 조금 넘는 기간동안 머물렀는데 굉장히 편하게 잘 지냈습니다. 집은 정말 말할것도없이 깨끗하고 이쁘고 좋았구요 Ray랑 Ursular도 정말정말 좋은분들이었습니다. 혹시 더블린에서 홈스테이 할 곳 찾고계시는 한국분들 있으시면 정말 추천해드리고싶어요 :)

Thank you very much girls, it was a pleasure having you stay at our home and meet our family, we like to make all our guests feel that they are at home, and for our younger guests we try to be a Mam & Dad because it can be strange living with strangers at first, so we are glad you enjoyed your stay. But the meal you cooked for us was absolutely fantastic it was our first time to taste a Korean meal. So here's wishing you all the best for the rest of your European adventure. Ray & Ursula

My experience with Raymond and Ursula has been wonderful! I have lived two weeks in their lovely house. They were very kind and helpful. It was the first time that I travelled to Dublin and stay in that house was the correct decision. They helped me with everything I needed. I felt like at my home. I recommend to everyone to stay with them.
