Staying at Irene and Dave's place was the greatest experience I have ever had with Airbnb (and probably ever will have). Upon arrival to their beautiful home, we were warmly greeted by Irene, Dave, and their two sweet sons. Dave took us on a magical tour of their property, along with the dogs Bruce and Benny (who will play fetch with you 24/7). The tour was both a nature tour and a history tour and directly connected to Dave's family and his creative passion for nature. The home itself is beautiful and very comfortable. Each of the 3 nights we were there, we stayed up late talking with Irene and Dave and their lovely family. They even taught us how to play "snooker" and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants (The Thatch in Birr is the best) and activities (Riverdance in Dublin and the Birr Castle Gardens). I would come back to Ireland just to stay with Irene and Dave again, the experience was that perfect.
