Angelina could not have been kinder or more welcoming! We stayed for a week, and she gave us a full run down of everything we might need to know on the first day (after having answered all my questions by e-mail before), then left us to enjoy our holiday, just checking in every few days when we passed each other that everything was going well and we had everything we needed.

The home is a lovely little granny flat next to Angelina's home, which is totally self-sufficient, and Angelina stocked the fridge with milk and juice for our arrival. The location is lovely, being in a little southern suburb of Dublin with nice little shops and pubs nearby, and about 6 or 7 different bus routes into the city centre, which takes about 20 minutes (we payed €40 for a week-long travelcard which covered all the buses, trains and trams around the greater Dublin area).

When we left, Angelina was so keen to hear how we had gotten on and booked a taxi for us to take us to the airport. She really couldn't have done more for us.
