My stay with Therese was most pleasant. I recommend her place, especially if you enjoy children and a walk.

My brother and I stayed five nights with Therese over New Year's. Prior to our arrival, Therese helpfully provided directions from Dublin Airport to her house. When we arrived, Therese and her husband provided us with food and lots of recommendations of things to do and see around Dublin.

Therese and her family generously shared their house and amenities. My brother and I cooked several times during our stay. The sharing of the kitchen (and the food!) was a lot of fun. Therese, her family, and the other couple staying there were all friendly and helpful.

The bed was a real bed, comfortable and large enough for two people. We were provided with plenty of pillows and covers. The bathrooms were clean.

The house is located on a small, quiet, and safe lane. There is a bus stop (to and from city center) about five minutes from the house. If you're traveling with lots of luggage, be aware that it's something of a steep climb from the bus stop to the house! Just down the street across the River Liffey is an entrance to Phoenix Park, a beautiful place to walk, run, and bike. There are several grocery stores within a 15-minute walking distance from the house.

The bus stop mentioned above, five minutes from the house, services several bus lines to Dublin city center. Personally, I preferred to walk from the house to the west side of city center (30-40 minutes). It's a lovely walk, either along/through Phoenix Park north of the River Liffey, or through the Irish National War Memorial Park south of the river. When I was there in January the weather was mild; a coat and gloves sufficed for the walk.

In summary, Therese and her family provide a welcoming, wonderful experience during your stay in Dublin.
