Firstly I would like to start by saying what a fantastic host Lesley is! Communication was excellent throughout. When I met her in person I found her to be very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The place is gorgeous, with large open spaced living and kitchen area. There were many board games, toys, DVD's etc to keep the kids entertained for hours. There is a small garden you can sit outside in, weather permitting and a large green area to side of the house. There was no noise at night and the area seems very safe and the neighbours are very nice. It is also a short walking distance to the main center of the town, which has many shops, restaurants and cinema. We found Balbriggan to be a great location to explore. Every attraction we visited was less than a 20-30 minute drive away (Tayto Park, Funtasia water park, Dublin Zoo). There is also nice beaches and seaside towns along coast. I would like to Thank Lesley for being an excellent host and for letting us stay in her gorgeous property and I would wholeheartedly recommend her place to anyone looking to explore Dublin and surrounding areas.
