We are a family of 2 adults and 1 child (age 13) that live in a modern 3 bedroom semi detached house in a lovely suburb on the north side of Dublin. We have a separate kitchen and living area with a beautiful back garden and patio area on which we have bar-b-ques regularly during the summer. As a family we are quite active and are often out and about. Over the last 17 years we have had students / vacationers of all ages to stay with us, we love to meet new people.

Barbara and her family were great hosts! They are always willing to help but also give you your space when needed. They have a beautiful home, located in a nice neighborhood with good access to the City Center. The accommodation is lovely with much thought put in. It is well taken care of and really clean! I absolutely recommend staying with them!

I spent two nights with Barbara's family and they were so nice and they will definitely help you with all your questions. Also the house is really close to the airport and the access to Dublin center is really easy and fast. I really enjoyed my stay.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
