It was just a lovely stay in Raymond's and Ursula's house. To bad we didn't have the chance to meet Ursula. But Raymond was very helpful and polite. He even showed us the beautiful village of malahide. He helped us with the bus and gave us great advices.
The house was very clean an we had a wonderful room. It takes 30 minutes to the city centre with the bus. But it was totally fine with us.October 2018
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 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!!
