Our stay with John and Emma was the perfect introduction to Dublin. They were such welcoming, friendly hosts and gave us tips on everything from restaurants to pubs to driving around the country.
From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed into their home, and we loved the fresh flowers and fruit the room and its location at the top of the house. We enjoyed spending time chatting with them over incredible french press coffee before reluctantly continuing on our Ireland journey.
They also went above and beyond. Our luggage was delayed and John let us deliver to the house--and Emma even stayed up late to wait for its arrival. I can't say enough good things about this family. You simply won't find better hosts in Dublin.
Also, the location is convenient to city attractions like Phoenix Park with easy bus access to the rest of Dublin. A stop is right outside the front door. Just be sure to have exact change in Euros if you plan to take the bus! :-)
The only downside of the trip? That we couldn't stay longer. Looking forward to a return trip one day!
Thanks again John, Emma, and your adorable kids!
