Bernie is a really perfect host. She communicated kindly despite my lack of English skills. It helped me a lot to improve my English skills. With cute Flossy, all worries disappear!!! Thanks to Bernie and Flossy, I was able to easily adapt to unfamiliar places. I was happy with all my time staying here. Bernie's house has always been warm and comfortable. She kept my room clean and I could always wash it with warm water. Bernie's neighborhood is really peaceful and convenient. You can get to Greenline Luas Station and Market in 10 minutes. It's a safe neighborhood, so it's not scary to walk late at night. Bernie made me love Ireland. I still miss Bernie and Flossy even now that I left here. Thank you so much to them.

I had a wonderful experience during my stay in Ireland, thanks to Flossy and Bernie. They warmly welcomed me, kept the house impeccably clean, and made an effort to listen to my stories.
Despite my limited time at the homestay, I appreciated the chance to relax, and their understanding of language difficulties and minor issues was truly admirable. Flossy, always a source of happiness, even prepared utensils for my morning cereal. The homestay's proximity to grocery stores and the spacious nearby park added to the positive experience.
I fondly remember commuting on the Luas and Bernie's early morning gesture of driving me to the nearby bus terminal for my Seoul-bound flight. I feel grateful for these experiences, acknowledging the effort involved, especially waking up at 3 am to drive me. Bernie and Flossy left me with more good memories than challenging ones in Dublin.
I genuinely appreciate their hospitality, and if I ever choose a homestay in Dublin again, it will undoubtedly be with them!

Bernie was the greatest thing that could happen to me during my trip to Dublin.
I absolutely needed to be there for my studies on Saturday and I had missed my flight on Friday, so I had to take another one which made me arrive well past midnight. I was stressed, exhausted, I had cried so much and this incredible woman came to pick me up and welcomed me with such warmth that I almost cried again.
My stay was perfect: she respects our privacy but she's also always ready to talk and help, I didn't lack anything, her house is lovely and close to a tram station, and most importantly... FLUSSY! Her beautiful dog who gave me so much love that I forgot all the hardships I went through to get there.
I will absolutely go back even if it's just to say hello!

I recommend Bernie's place to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay. Thank you for turning my first couple weeks in Ireland into such a lovely experience! I'll miss you and Flossy!

Staying with Bernadette was the best decision I could have made on my trip to Dublin. From the moment I arrived she made me feel at home. She was incredibly helpful with everything I needed, and she was always friendly, warm and welcoming. Her house is beautiful, tidy and clean, and her dog Flossy is the sweetest! The house is also located on a great area - safe, quiet and very close to a Luas stop that takes you directly into the city. My stay with Bernie was absolutely delightful, I cannot recommend it enough!

Thanks Bernie for welcoming me into your lovely home. I really felt at home and with Flossy around, well secured. It was a pleasure getting acquainted and would it do it again anytime. Thanks for keeping me warm

Bernie is the best host there is, she is kind, lovely and has such a big heart. She made me feel so welcome to Dublin. It was always nice knowing there was a warm welcome waiting for me at the end of the day from both her and Flossie. I couldn't ask for a better host and a better home stay. Also her home is so neat and tidy at all times. She was really helpful showing me around and giving me advice how to best navigate the city. Bernie deserves 10 stars

Bernie is an exceptional host and makes you feel home before you even stepped in her beautiful home.
I really couldn't have asked for more. She is very helpful and lovely to chat to. Thanks for making my stay very comfortable and a home away from home.August 2023
Superbe accueil. Bernadette est très gentille et compréhensive quand l'anglais n'est pas bien compris :)
