Meet Fiona
If airport pick ups or drop offs are required while I'm available I'm happy to oblige if possible, obviously not for those middle of the night flights
On a typical day...
I’m a clean person and keep a clean house.
When I host guests...
I can answer questions but let my guests do their own thing.

Comfortable 3 bedroom home close to DCU with excellent transport links to the city centre. I live alone and like to keep a laid back home where guests can can kick back and relax in the evenings as if they were at home. It is only suitable for people who have somewhere else to be Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm, it is not available for home office or study during the week. In the pictures I have included a box Bedroom which can be rented in addition to the guest bedroom for an additional cost of €750 PM if required by the same booking party. I do not intend to rent it independently which is why it is not listed. I am not interested in offering long term rental, longest booking will be no more than 6 months.

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?

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.
