    Good location - close to the airport, grocery store, and buses (it doesn't take long to get into the city centre). Very friendly hosts.

    There was some damp mould in the corner of the room. Noone answered when I arrived. It was not clear which house was which in the dark. The neighbour also had a number 70 on the door (the B was not visible in the dark).

    The room was close to the shared bathroom. The room was very small (not like in the pictures), but had charging points and internet (although reception was a bit patchy). Close to airport and hospital, and a good pub opposite. Also a SuperValu close by. The kitchen room had a microwave and fridge for use by guests. This was handy for the evening meal.

    the only thing was that our room was an attic, and there were steep stairs to get to the bathroom. I use to wake up at night to go to bathroom so this was not great, but nothing important

    Breakfast was ok. I asked Margaret gluten free bread and oat milk, and she provided quickly It was confortable having breakfast at their living room, before starting the day Margaret&Gordon were kind and helpful, and provided any help we needed Location of the house was really convenient, close to the 16 bus stop, which brought us from the airport in 20min, and took us to the city center in 15min, so great. Also, good neighbourhood with a nice pub close, the beaumont house, which served good meal

    The property was very comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay there. It is also is in a very good location with easy to use transport from both the airport and the city centre. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful for example booking us a taxi to spend the day in Howth.

    The structure of the steps that connected to our bedroom seemed pretty dangerous because of its inclination and location in a cramped spaced.

    The staff were very friendly and the connection to the airport and city center was decent (maybe it was a bit far, but the bus was relatively quick and close to the house. We didn't have a problem). Very welcoming ambient good service.

    Missing towel racks or hooks in the bathroom and in the rooms. A hair dryer would be welcome.

    Well placed halfway between city center and airport (bus line 16 + alternate routes, if needed). Supermarket, pub and restaurant very close. The hosts make you feel welcome and provide many helpful information. Room and breakfast have good value for money.

    The only thing to note was the smell of smoke in the house.

    Margaret was a great host. Had many great conversations with her and the rules were laid out nicely. We had a change to our reservation pretty close to the date and she accommodated this change quickly and seemlessly.

    We liked in morning chat with Gordon during breakfast. He took care of everything all alone while Margaret was away. Especially, we enjoyed lying down on the bed (very comfortable) under those roof windows when it's sunny.

    House is little bit cold ale there was no hot water when you want to take shower at night.

    Margret and her husband are very kind people. Accommodation is comfortable and in good location. It was clean. Very good deal for the price. Thank you! You can have some youghurt, bread, cheese and ham, tea&coffee for the breakfast.
