I live in Lucan with my husband and three lovely young girls. My husband and I are both chefs. He is from France so our house is used to many visitors from Europe. We work daytime hours and in the evening like to eat together and find out how everyone enjoyed their day. When we are off we like to be out doors with the girls and usually pick somewhere to visit where the girls can run. We own a very friendly King Charles dog called Copper and to be honest he is more like one of the children. He must fully participate in all the girls games. We would be happy to welcome you into our home.
Additional Info
We have a bus stop close to the house that will bring you into the city centre and this takes 35-50 mins depending on traffic.
