Eileen was very welcoming, kind and considerate. The location of her home was fantastic. Regular dart into centre of city. Quiet neighbourhood close to seafront too. I highly recommend Eileen's homestay!

This is a great location for getting into the city - only about a 25 min train ride, and the station is a 2 min walk from the house.
Eileen was fantastic, so kind and welcoming. I felt 100% at home during my 1 month stay. Highly recommend!!August 2019
Pleasant lovely lady, she shares a comfortable tiny house in a quiet neighbourhpod. Near the city centre and the seaside of Howth and Malahide. Dart in a minute, that's a point.

If you want to feel like home when you go abroad. Eileen's house is the best place to go! She is really kind and a loving person. She gives good advice and is very helpfull. She does the best she can to make you feel at ease, to make you feel at home.
As far I'm concerned, I really enjoyed and loved my stay in Ireland mostly thanks to her(I stayed there 2 months).
Moreover, she has some members of her family that live near to her house. If you have the chance to meet them, you'll understand that they are a big loving family. I wish I could see all of them again and, of course, I strongly advise to go to Eileen's house for a homestay.Ps: Once again, thank you very much Eileen, love you and Sadie and Jean!

Absolutely amazing! Eileen was extremely kind, courteous and friendly. She is a very facilitative and helpful person and is always seeking ways to make her guests comfortable and improve their stay. Perfect host and lovely person overall. I highly recommend her, without any doubt. Her home is clean and comfortable and it is extremely close to the train station and local shops nearby. She lives on a quiet street and her home itself is very peaceful. I am extremely satisfied with my previous stay with her and certainly would not hesitate to book in the future again. Thank you for the lovely experience Eileen. God bless you and your wonderful home.
