We have a doubleroom available in a 4 bedroom house. The house is walking distance to the city centre but the bus stop (100m) and luas (light rail 7 min walk) are both very close. We have 2 boys. 9yrs and 6yrs and a small dog and a cat. The boys are home for a few hours after school during term time. There is a lovely green area outside and we are in a quite enclave which is very peaceful but central. From Spring to autumn we travel a lot at the weekends.

What a lovely family i've ever met! They're sooooo kind and nice.
This house has everything I need. Also The location is really perfect too.
There was a large supermarket a 3-minute by walk and there were more large supermarkets nearby if you walked a little further, so it was very convenient for me.
The kitchen was also very large and easy to cook.
Kids were so cute, kind and fun. They made me have a good time.
The room was large and had a lot of storage space, it made me convenient to live.
The cat and dog are so cute, gentle, and quiet.
It was convenient because I could walk from the city to my house.
If you are looking for a house in Dublin I would highly recommend this house.
If I come to Ireland again, I want to come to this house again!!
I miss this family!!!Host reply

They definitely are a lovely family and it was one of the best choices I've ever made staying at their house in the beginning of my life in Ireland. They did help me a lot and were amazingly supportive overall. Kids are lovable and I will miss them a lot too. Thanks for the great memories.

Lovely family I’ve ever met in Ireland.
The location is good, quiet, and close to the city centre.
I was touched by the family's willingness to help no matter what.
So, There's no reason not to stay this house as long as it's not fully booked.Host reply

I had an amazing experience staying with my host family in Ireland. Darie, Aoife, and their lovely children made me feel like part of their family, creating a welcoming atmosphere with their warm hospitality. The children were absolutely adorable and brought so much joy to my stay. The rooms were spacious, and the garden was beautifully maintained. Conveniently, there were several nearby bus stops providing easy access to the centre of Dublin, as well as big shopping malls and supermarkets. I highly recommend choosing their house for an exceptional stay.

It has been lucky to find this wonderful family They help you with everything you need, they are respectful and fun. The little ones in the house are very good and educated too. The house is very nice and large in a beautiful area near the center, within reach of supermarkets, restaurants, bus stops, pharmacies, etc. I would happily stay with them again.

I stayed with Aoife and her family for 3 months, and I felt very much at home. They are simply lovely! We shared many moments together and had a great time. I'm glad they were part of my experience in Dublin because they made it even more memorable. I know we will keep in touch!

Aoife and her partner are so nice, I had a great time staying with them! They made me feel very welcome. Their house is big and clean and only a short distance to the city center.
