The accommodations were top-notch, clean and comfortable. The common kitchen was very well organized and easy to use. Each room was provided with their own Wi-Fi access, and the artwork throughout was beautiful, many of which were painted by our hostess! Our hosts and hostess were a wealth of information about the Dublin area and transportation to and from the area. We appreciated the friendly and welcoming atmosphere they have created from their family home. Thanks for everything!
