Eileen was our host for nearly 4 months while my girlfriend studied abroad at UCC, and our stay was incredible. Eileen was kind enough to integrate us into her and her family's lives during our stay, and she very much made us feel comfortable and like we were a part of the family.
She always had tons of advice for traveling around Europe (as she's done loads of world traveling herself). It was common for her to invite us to dinner (both she and her daughters are incredible cooks), which almost always ended up culminating in a night of drinking at the pubs in the area, which in turn lead us to make even more new friends.
Eileen was always able to help us in one way or another if we needed it. For example she took us to the garda station when we needed to get my girlfriend's temporary immigration card, she cleaned our room for us and did our laundry on numerous occasions, and she took us both to the airport when it came time to leave.
We ended up becoming very close with Eileen and her family, and she became far more than an AirBnB host to us. That is a testament to her overall personality. Eileen is a very genuine and caring person, and those traits certainly reflect in the way she conducts her business.
We got far more than we paid for here, and I still have trouble processing how lucky we were.
Thank you Eileen!
