Des is an amazing landlord, he made sure to take care of any doubts and help that I needed, also provided me with advice during my journey in Dublin. He showed me so much respect and understanding!
I felt at home during my stay, the house is placed in a beautiful area, closest to transportation. Definitely recommend.

Desmond is very kind. The room was a little small, but there was no inconvenience.

Sem dúvidas não teria opção melhor para mim como estadia temporária, totalmente atencioso e sou extremamente grata. Quarto limpo, organizado. Oferece o que promete, ou até mais! Obrigada Desmond.

The host cancelled the booking 5 days before the arrival date.
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
