What a find! My family of four loved our stay at Noeleen's home in Dublin.
Noeleen is a wonderful host. She met us at check-in to introduce us to her home, taking the time to chat with our daughters, and pointing out the goodies (chocolate bars, milk, bread, beverages) she provided for our use.
We were lucky to be Noeleen's first AirBnB guests. It was obvious from our interactions that she truly did care about our satisfaction and enjoyment of her home during our stay. And while some first-time hosts might forget a thing or two, Noeleen did not miss a single detail. We had everything that we needed and more, including all cooking (pots, pans, oils, seasonings) and cleaning (laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, soaps and shampoos) necessities. Heaters are available throughout the home. WiFi was strong enough to stream the NBA Playoffs.
The entire home was sparkling clean and stylish. The home was warm and comfortable. We shared multiple breakfasts and dinners on the kitchen table staring out into the beautiful backyard. We read books and watched TV as a family in the living room. We would have made use of the outdoor seating and tables if the weather had been a bit better. In short, we felt right at home. In fact, our daughters actually cried a little when we told them it was time to leave.
While in a residential neighborhood outside of the city center, the home was a short (and cute) 5-7 minute walk to the light rail (be sure to stop at Through the Green Coffee on your way) which took you straight into the city. A few small grocery stores and takeaway places are even closer.
All of this at an incredible value compared to other Dublin AirBnBs and hotels.
In short, I would absolutely stay at Noeleen's place again. I would also recommend it to both friends and family. Of over 35 AirBnB stays thus far, our time at Noeleen's will be remembered as one of our favorites.
