Arriving exhausted after an overnight flight, it was a delight to enter the house and find it fully provisioned with everything we would need -- food, bedding, wifi -- to get us started on our explorations of Dublin. The house was comfortable for our family of four and only minutes from a very easy bus trip to the city center. The kids enjoyed having games and we loved the great reading lamps next to the beds. Hilary left us helpful maps and instructions about taking public transport and finding the nearby food stores. Whenever we had glitches (i.e. a beeping alarm after we opened the door to the back garden or a brief loss of wifi) Hilary responded immediately with successful solutions. While the house was not in the heart of Dublin or close to a multitude of restaurants, Hilary's generosity as a host more than made up for that.
