I have had a very nice experience with Charlie and Barbara. They were always very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. I fully recommend and if I had to return, I would not hesitate to return with them. Thank you so much!

Barbara's house is nice and cosy place at the great location. Bus stops are very close, 2 to 3 minutes from the house and every few minutes bus arrives. From there you can easily go to the city centre or to the one of the best beaches in Dublin (Portmarnock). Tesco, Lidl, Spar, ATM are very close too, so you can easily access to it. Last but not least Barbara and her husband are really nice people, ready to help you, to chat with you or whatever you need. I warmly recommend them for the hosts. You will not regret.

Our accommodation was a very pleasant experience, in a very clean and welcoming home at all times. Barbara, was super kind and affectionate with us, in addition to always helping us when we needed help or had a problem. We recommend 100% this accommodation for those who want to have a comfortable and pleasant stay. In addition, the house has a good location, with access to transport 24 hours a day, near the center of Dublin and with supermarkets nearby.

Barbara and Charlie have been amazing since my arrival all the way until my departure! They have been so helpful with everything and I could ask them any question if something came up. It was always really clean and the area is really nice and central as well. Great bus connections into the centre and up north as well! I would 100% recommend staying there!

Barbara and Charlie have been lovely hosts. At all times, did they make the effort to ensure a clean and tidy house. The nearby bus station connects the house wonderfully to the city centre. Every time I needed something fixed, e.g. lightbulbs, Barbara and Charlie took care of it as soon as possible. They are family people. Grandchildren and children often come to visit, which was never unpleasant. All worries from before my stay turned out to be easy solvable as the hosts are very straightforward. I would definitely stay with them again and can also recommend this homestay for everyone.

My stay at Barbara and Charle's house was perfect.
I felt at home. They are always available to answer any question and to help us. The neighborhood is super quiet, with a bus route just 2min from their house that also runs at the all night.
I wish I could stay longer, however it was available the 40 days I stayed. Otherwise, I would stay there until the end of my exchange.
Barbara and Charles, muito obrigada!
