Carmel is one of the best hosts we have ever had. She made us extraordinarily welcome, her book with information about the house and Dublin is something I plan to copy for my own hosting, and the house was spotless, better than the photos! She left a wonderful welcome package of goodies for us as well. We could not have been happier with the apartment, the location, and the warmth of her greeting. Her advice about where to go and what to do was spot on, and made a big difference in our enjoyment of Dublin.
