    I had a wonderful experience staying at Liz's house. The hospitality provided was exceptional, making me feel like a part of their family. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness, creating a homely atmosphere that made my stay incredibly comfortable. Liz and her family went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, making my stay a truly memorable one. I highly recommend staying at Liz's house for anyone looking for a welcoming and friendly environment away from home.

    I spent the last month with Liz and Michael and can only recommend it. The house was always clean and tidy. Liz and Michael were always friendly, helpful and there for you. In addition, the food was very good. I would stay with Liz and Michael again at any time. Thank you so much Liz and Michael!

    As a seasoned traveller I was very disappointed with my visit. The only positive aspect about my stay was the cleanliness of the room/home.
    I traveled with my 83 year old mother and stayed for 4 nights. My first impression of the host was far from positive. After she welcomed us she was very firm about us taking off our shoes and then started telling us they were recovering from a long sickness. She was very adamant about being clean and orderly and that she did not appreciate certain types of guests. With that being said we were very careful to make our beds, keep toiletries in order and not make a mess. She showed us our rooms and the bathroom which was exclusive for our use, as she had her own bathroom.
    The next morning I came into the bathroom and she had taken all of my toiletries and put them in a plastic basket (which was dirty) and my things were just all on top of each other.
    I was very surprised that she had touched my things and moved them without asking. This bathroom was only for our use, and not hers.

    We were not allowed to bring food into the home and keep it in the refrigerator because she was afraid that we would get food poisoned. She did bend the rules and allow us to have some sandwiches in her fridge.
    Her husband Mikael was very nice and accommodating.
    We left early every morning and went to our rooms as soon as we came back, to avoid interaction.

    My very first bad review. Not surprised. You booked a twin and I gave you both a single room. You said you were delighted as your mother snored. You also said in Sweden people remove their shoes. You obviously didn't read my profile. My house insurance does not allow others peoples food in the fridge. As to your rooms thanks for saying it was clean. This is a home. Not an Airbnb and for what you paid for your stay.. I will say no more. I am sorry YOU DIDN'T want to interact. Forgot about the glass of wine. Your review makes no sense. I have never kicked anyone out of my house. That's a down right lie. My husband has in the past. I will say no more. Another lie is about your last morning. You led us to believe you wanted to visit restaurant in Dublin. We have been very sick that's a fact. This all true. What about the hugs the last evening and all the advice on where to go. Enjoy the rest of your life.

    We had a wonderful stay, Liz and Michael are very nice, always here for a chat! The neighborhood is quiet and the bus for the centre is close. I would definitly go back here if I were to visit Dublin again!

    Few times have I felt at home when I travel, but in this stay I found myself in a place that can be called home.
    Liz and Michael are two wonderful people, it was always pleasant to have nice conversations and they're always ready to help you with any doubts or advice.
    The house is beautiful, always taken care of down to the smallest detail, the location is fantastic, literally half a minute from the front door there is a bus stop and every 15 minutes one passes directly to the city center.
    It was a wonderful experience, I recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know Dublin starting from two fantastic Irish people.
