Freund Familie

I stayed with my wife here for six weeks as part of a relocation package from my work. Overall, we had a ok stay and all the amenities worked fine. The description and associated pictures are confusing: We booked what was labeled as a triple room on homestay.com, when in fact it is an en-suite double room, looking very much like the picture labeled as the double room on the website. I suspect the pictures were swapped. The room is also not totally a room, as there is a spiral staircase going down into the hosts living room. While this wasn't used by them or by us, it did affect privacy somewhat since we could clearly hear each other, and when they were cooking, the smell of their food entered the room. All lockers in our room were full of stuff from the hosts, while they provided a rack to put our clothes on, which was fine for us. Once, our hosts entered the room without a notification to us, to check an electrical socket behind those lockers, which made us feel uneasy. All in all, It's an ok place, be aware that even though ensuite, it's not totally private due to the staircase and can, in theroy, entered by the hosts anytime. Also, while the wrong label as a triple room was not an issue for us, it could be for other potential guests.

I stayed at Sandra's place together with my daughter (16). We shared a room and had our own bathroom which was brand new. The room was very clean. Sandra provided different food for breakfast which we prepared ourself in the kitchen / living room which we shared with other hosts.
Sandra is very willing to help and gave advice whenever we had a question. The price for our stay was totally OK.
Conolly Trainstation can be reached by feet (without any lougage), the next bus-stop is about an eight minutes walk. Several buses stop and so do bus n° 41 and 16 coming from the airport.
The bus-stop is Drumcondra Railwaystation.
