I felt very comfortable with Lorraine and her family. They were always very friendly to me and I could ask anything and felt supported. I had so many great conversations with Lorraine in particular. I had a very great time in Ireland and Lorraine and her boys contributed to that. Also their dog Max is really wonderful. :))
I can therefore highly recommend this accommodation! Thank you again and stay the way you are. You are always welcome in Germany. <3 <3January 2024
I had a wonderful stay at Lorraine's home, she and her family were really nice and helpful whenever I needed. You really feel home while having your complete independence. The house is well served by the bus to go in the city center and grocery shops are 2 minutes walk from the house. I would go back with pleasure, thank you so much for these months with you! (Max, the dog is also really nice and well-educated :) )

Thank you so much for welcoming me. I had a great time staying with you. You are all very warm-hearted, supportive and funny. I really enjoyed the lovely talks, playing with your dog and of course the delicious breakfast! :P
I highly recommend staying with them to anyone looking for a nice place that makes you feel at home.April 2022
Thank you very much to the whole family for their welcome, their kindness, but especially the time they gave to listen and discuss with me. But at the same time they let me a lot of freedom. I would go back there without hesitation.
Merci beaucoup à toute la famille pour leur accueil, leur bienveillance, mais surtout le temps qu’il m’ont accordé pour m’écouter et discuter avec moi. Tout en me laissant une grande liberté. J’y retournerait sans hésiter.

My stay with Lorraine and her family was wonderful! They are all very kind and warm. They gave me a lot of freedom and still had an open ear for me at all times. I felt very much at home and integrated. If I had questions about anything, I was always helped. The neighbourhood is also very friendly, quiet and safe, and the nearest supermarket is within walking distance. The city centre can be reached quickly by bus, which is just around the corner. The bus connections to UCD are also uncomplicated. I would stay with them again at any time and have no hesitation in recommending them.
Thank you for everything!
