Marie and Tom were gracious hosts--I had a great experience! They made me feel very welcome in their home. Tom ate breakfast with me every morning, talked about Irish history and provided me with daily itineraries and bus routes for me to use, if I wanted. My last day I mentioned that I'd never tried "plaice" before, so Marie went to the fish market and fried me up a filet for me to try! Yum!
What a great way to learn about Irish culture and get to know some locals!
Thanks, Marie & Tom!

Tom and Marie are very lovely people. There house is nice and near from the center (30min with the 46a bus). Tom is always ready to help and they let you a lot of independence. Furthermore they have a adorable and lovable dog. 10/10 would recommend and go again.
