Hi there,
A little about us..
This house is a family home to myself, my daughter and our beloved dog Shadow (a friendly husky). Both myself and my daughter work but there is usually one of us in the house at some part if the day.
It is a quiet house but there is always activity in it. Shadow spends most of his time in the house and craves attention... would always be up to be brought for a walk ;)

We are situated in Artane which has many connecting bus routes to the city centre. The bus stop is 5 minute walk from the house and will leave you in the centre of town within 15 mins. There is also a bus route to DCU which will get you there in 15 minutes. There are many supermarkets in minutes walk including Lidl Tesco and a variety of butchers. Dublin Airport is a 10 minutes drive from us.

Please note that I ask for 4 weeks to be paid in advance upon check in. Payment is then weekly after this.

The prices include bills also.

    Lorraine, as she told me when I was leaving, is a “fresh breath of air”! The house is comfortable and super well located, with loads of bus stops near the place, including the bus number 15 which works 24 hours. I couldn’t have met a better host mom!

    I stayed with Lorraine for nearly 6 months and I really had a great time! Lorraine was a great host and while she gave me the space to do my own thing, she made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Her home is also close large supermarkets and several bus stops, and one of the busses goes 24 hours a day, so you will always have a way home!

    Wonderful stay with Lorraine! Lorraine is a great listener, always available to talk and to give good advice for everyday life and for visiting Dublin. The dog, Shadow is adorable.
    The house is very well equipped. I felt at home during my stay, a lounge is at our disposal and Lorraine always has little attention for her tenants.
    Thank you for making my stay in Dublin a good one.

    Lorraine's house really felt like a home away from home. Lorraine was always there if I needed help or if I just wanted to have a chat. I always felt comfortable and I always enjoyed being there.

    I stayed at Lorraine’s for almost 5 months and couldn’t have asked for a better host. The house is really nice and Shadow, the dog, is super cute. Lorraine really makes you feel at home and always makes sure that you got everything you need. I would definitely recommend staying with her. Thanks for everything Lorraine!
