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.
