I stayed one month for employment/leisure. Susan's place is a great place to stay. She was waiting for me upon my arrival which she had given prior instructions to how to get to her house from the airport. She started off my visit with an orientation to the kitchen, the bathroom and the bedroom. She taught me how to use the heating system and what to do if I needed anything like blankets or shower things. Gave the wi-fi password and provided a house key (then I took a long three hour nap). She was present if you wanted her to be and left you in peace when you wanted to be in peace. We often had conversations about the local culture, politics, healthcare, site seeing, and past experiences. They were all lovely, respectful, and hospitable. She provided breakfast every morning. She went out of her way to get little extras here and there that were not expected. She helped me figure out how to navigate the bus system and gave the best advice about traveling into the City Center. I never made it to the DART station from her house (didn't need to), but there are many places with in a reasonable walk from her house such as grocery stores, my place of employment, and bus stations and in fact one day I walked the distance into Clontarf and it really wasn't too bad. The neighborhood is peaceful, very little road traffic, and the neighbors were respectful as I would pass them each day. The price was amazing and in fact for what it was it's a steal. It's always strange to show up and live in a strangers home - you feel that you're invading their private, personal space; but, at Susan's I felt welcomed and at home. I never felt that I was in the way. Overall, this was a steal of an experience. She had another bedroom where people seemed to stay short term - a night or two. I didn't interact with them much. She always gave a heads up in advance. They people that stayed seemed respectful and never made any appreciable distraction or noise. Her location is great for getting into the city center, only about 20 minutes on the buses. So it's great if you want to explore Dublin but not live/sleep in the city district. And I imagine that it is also a great place just if you're staying near the Airport (although I did not do this). To be honest, I do not think I could have asked for a better experience. Gold stars. 11/10. Susan is a great place to stay. Long term too! You won't be disappointed.
