    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!

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) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

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.
