Our home is a holistic home where peace and harmony are keys and where everyone is treated with love and respect at all times.
This includes the manner in which we address each other as well as respect for other occupants’ needs to rest, sleep or be still.
Classes and holistic treatments are offered from the yoga studio and treatment room adjacent to the kitchen and it is essential for clients to enjoy privacy and peace at those times….
Pets or visitors are not allowed on the property without obtaining the prior written consent of the owner.
This is a quiet house where we respect each other's need for a restful night.
The ideal guest is quiet, positive, and holds a full-time job or is a serious conscientious full-time student who appreciate the peaceful surroundings our house offers after a long day at work or at college.
It is important to keep the noise levels down at all times and especially when others are in bed.
Guests are to be courteous at all time and respectful of the "zen" feel of the house.
Guests can use the kitchen at agreed times as long as you leave it clean and tidy, the same applies to the bathroom and the bedroom you are using.
I teach yoga and give holistic treatments from home so it is essential to have calm and harmony throughout.
Guests are kindly asked to remove their shoes in the house.
No visitors except in specific circumstances agreed in advance with host.

I had just arrived in Dublin and the welcoming of Marie Angeline has been the best way to start in a city I had never been before.
The house is quiet and tidy and the landlady is respectful of anyone's own space.
I could not find any better.
Thanks!December 2015
