New House, Private Rooms in a Peaceful Neighborhood

The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and the neighbourhood felt safe and quiet. It was perfect for a short stay in Lucan, Dublin. The hosts were incredibly kind and thoughtful, even leaving a bottle of water for me. I only stayed overnight during a short trip, but I had a very good night’s sleep and felt well rested for my onward travel. Highly recommended.

Spacious rooms, free parking

Super great host (communication, help with luggage, kind). Clean & comfy, spacious room, provided us tea and bottled water too. Better than a hotel (aside from shared bathroom). Great place to relax for a day, but not so great if you're a traveller wanting to explore the city.

Location was in the middle of nowhere. From city centre it was over 2h in public transit, or would have been an $80 cab. (Didn't realize this when booking) The shower runs out of hot water very quickly. No restaurants or bars nearby.

I stayed at this homestay just outside Dublin and had a mixed experience overall. The host was kind and welcoming, and communication was easy, which I really appreciated as a solo traveler. The fridge was in his Mom's downstairs apartment, and as I left at 6am did not feel comfortable accessing her space to collect my food. The room itself was quite small and fairly basic, but it served its purpose for a short stay. The home was generally quiet and in a convenient location for getting in and out of the city. That said, I did feel a bit uneasy at times as a solo female traveler. I heard some unusual electronic-type sounds coming from the bathroom area, which made me uncomfortable and affected my sense of privacy during the stay. I’m not sure what it was, but it did leave me feeling a little on edge. Overall, it was an average stay with a very kind host, but the comfort level and sense of ease were not quite what I had hoped for.

I'm not sure I had clean sheets and unusual electronic-type sounds in the bathroom fan.
