Upon entering Karin's home you are enveloped in a wonderful smell of fresh flowers; orchids and lilies abound. She had me from that point on and it only got better.
As I made my way up the staircase I could only look in amazement on how the walls and floor landings were impeccably decorated but extremely relatable and welcoming. Large windows washed the staircase and yellow walls with light.
Angela showed us to our room on the third floor and walked us through the ins and outs of the room. She was very pleasant and check-in went quite smooth.
The room we occupied was exactly like the photos if not better, like architectural digest coming to life. The room was decorated with thought and care just like the rest of the house. There was a sitting area to watch television, a dining table to have dinner(which we did two out of the three nights.The room was just too nice not to have dinner at home) and breakfast(every morning). Large windows with original wooden shutters, a view of a park, a gas fireplace which added tons of charm and even a cd player to watch movies from the movie library on the second floor.
The kitchen was fully equipped and even came with a few eggs, milk, tea, butter, coffee and other niceties that made our stay just like home. The bathroom was extremely clean and came with toiletries; soap(hand/shower), shampoo, toothpaste and a hairdryer. I've said this before, it's these little details that make me feel welcomed and like its a home away from home.
Karin was fast when responding to messages and was a sweetheart. It was a pleasure to have met her and stayed at her house. I look forward to my next trip to Dublin and staying at Karin's place.
