They are lovely family, nice and cozy room.
The house is just in a perfect place from all public transport routes.September 2023
I had a wonderful stay, everything was lovely. Lorna and her family are very welcoming and kind. The food was delicious, the house is located in a lovely area, and is next to the bus stops, and a big shopping center. The room was lovely as well. I had an amazing time in this homestay so I really recommend it! Thank you again for everything!

Le logement est bien placé , proche des transports en commun ainsi qu'un centre commercial OMNI à 10 minutes à pied.
La chambre est n'est pas très grande mais convient parfaitement grâce à un aménagement bien pensé. Tout comme la salle de bain.
Le coin petit déjeuner partagé avec l'autre locataire est très pratique car juste devant la chambre.
La famille est très agréable mais il faut prendre en compte les enfants en bas âge.
J'ai passé un très bon séjour.December 2022
My stay with the family was wonderful! The room and the house were kept clean, the family cooked delicious food, which makes it very easy for a student. The house is so close to bus stops, shops and Dublin City University. Lorna and her family are extremely helpful and friendly and I wish the family good health. I highly recommend!

In general my accommodation was good, she always cleaned my room and changed my bedroom clothes, the location is safe and near to different bus stops, she helped me and gave me tips in the city, but when you want to study or need to relax is complicated because the kids in the morning and in the afternoon they are running, crying and screaming.

Thankyou Daniella nice you had time to relax while we prepared your meals. A 30 year old woman should know a house with 3 children is not a quiet place to study. That's what libraries are for.

I can only thank this family for the wonderful stay I had in their home. Both Michael and Lorna are very kind, respectful and willing to help you with any need. Their kids are also very nice. The room is exactly as you see in the pictures, the bathroom is always kept clean and the breakfast offered by the family is without a doubt very good. The location of the house is ideal for a DCU student. It is located only a 10 minute walk to DCU. Also, about 50 meters away there is a bus stop that takes you to the city center, and about 300 meters away there is an avenue where buses pass very late at night. There is a shopping center just 5 minutes walking distance, where you can find Lidl, Tesco, Dealz (same as Poundland), Penneys (same as Primark), among other stores. Next to the house there is also a coffee shop that sells very tasty things. Almost in front of the house there is a Garda station. The area is very safe and quiet. Living with this family was a very nice experience; I really recommend it.

Lorna and her husband were very welcoming and kind throughout my stay, they would provide different cereals/ pastries and juices each morning. The room was lovely with a lot of natural lighting and had a desk to do work on.
The house is located in the heart of Santry with the Omni Shopping Centre just a few minutes walk away. their a lovely family and great hosts, I really enjoyed my time spent at their Homestay.
