Colm and Vera went out of their way to make my husband feel right at home. It was a last minute scramble for us to book a place and they made it seamless. I cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Candice. We were happy to be able to help you out and it certainly was our pleasure to have Darren stay with us. Pity we couldn’t match Valencia’s weather though!!

Nous avons été très bien reçu par Vera et Colm . Ils nous ont rendus services en terme de transport. L'endroit est très calme et sécurisé. Très pratique pour visiter Dublin . Transports en commun à proximité. Nous avons même pu passer une soirée dans deux pubs de la ville pour nous mettre en jambe avant d'affronter la journée de la Saint Patrick à Dublin.

I looked to stay with Colm and Vera at short notice and received a very welcoming reply instantly. Arriving at Veras home I was met at the door with a smile and a very welcoming Vera. We chatted for a while and I was made to feel right at home straight away. My room was spotless and bed was very comfy.
I can recommend Colm and Veras home for any length of a stay.
Thank you very much folks.March 2019
Colm and his wife, Vera are so wonderful couple. I stayed there for 2 weeks. The room, a bathroom, and a kitchen are very clean, tidy, and comfortable. They welcomed me very warmly. Vera took me to a grocery store, shopping center etc... She helped me lots of things whenever I need someone's help cause I just arrived in Ireland and nobody knows. Thank you so much for all of your kindness. I strongly recommend you to stay at their house.
