Notes

My parents live nextdoor and there is a lovely local community who will enjoy welcoming you and giving you any tourist tips you need. 

A real opportunity to immerse into a community if that what you want. 

Or, if your more private, it is very easy to come and go unnoticed if thats what you prefer.

We had a fabulous five week exchange in Galway. Sarah’s home was so close to the town centre and an easy walk. She also so very generously let us use her car which proved invaluable for exploring Ireland. Great home in a good location.

Our home is very easy to get to from Dublin/Shannon airports. Bus or drive.

Our home is a warm typical Irish home with nice garden very big trampoline and lots of children's toys and neighbours children to play with. 

For adults visiting we are Close to shops / restaurant/pubs etc. Very central 

At home we have Two hand-reared friendly but cautious outdoor cats who visit us - but only infrequently to remind us that they are now indifferent to us! We feed them if they visit. And they sometimes visit for a bit of company.
