I had a very happy time during the homestay at Mary's house. Although that was my first time living in Dublin, I was completely relaxed because Mary and her family helped me. Mary explained the way around house while driving and drew maps for me. They constantly checked whether the room are adequate for relaxation. They also gave a lot of advice about Irish culture, travel, and so on. I really appreciate Mary and her family and I'd like to recommend this house to those who are going to stay in Dublin!

I couldn´t have chosen a better accomodation option. Mary´s house is in a quiet area, perfectly connected to the city centre. The room is cozy, the bed comfortable, everything is spotless and the breakfast incuded is more than plentiful. But the best of my stay was, undoubtedly, that Mary and Richard made me feel completely at home during my stay, I am very grateful for the time I spent with them, their company made a huge difference to my days in Dublin. I can´t recommend Mary´s place highly enough. Thank you!
