Helen is a very nice person who took me in at a moment's notice. Helen and her husband are very friendly hosts with three lovely children, and a very busy house and life.
The house is a work in progress as they are still refurbishing it, and with a large family it is difficult to keep sparkling clean. My bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious, the bathroom mostly for my use even though it could be shared by family members. The double bed was very comfy with plenty of pillows and a good mattress. The room had a corner desk and chair too.
They provide tea, coffee and bread/butter/jam for breakfast with the room, which is great value. Helen bakes healthy cakes and treats for a living, so you can also buy some if you have a sweet tooth.
The house is in a great location, within walking distance of an array of supermarkets (including Lidl), shops and restaurants, some with late night opening (even a pharmacy, which saved my back at 9PM ).
There is a bus stop (Hurler's) with a direct line to Limerick city centre and the airport (EagleAzur) within 10mn by foot, and you can safely access UL either walking or cycling.
Overall I had a nice stay at Helen's place and would happily stay there again.
