We had an amazing time on our trip to Dublin and Karen's home and helpful advice played a huge role in our trip's success. Her beautiful home was perfect for our party of six, with thoughtful touches throughout (and everyone in our party commented on how comfortable the beds were). Our three kids actually took turns sleeping on the top level of the house because they all thought it was so neat.
Karen helped us arrange transport to and from the airport, offered advice on some fabulous dining options and live music, and was extremely quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. The neighborhood was lovely -- a short stroll to village restaurants and shops and a quick bus ride or 20-minute walk to Dublin's city centre. It really felt like home and we would love to return someday!
