What a lovely home! We were made to feel so welcome and were thrilled by the thoughtful welcome gifts and supplies they left for us. All the communication prior to the exchange was excellent and we really appreciated all the tips to help us enjoy Dublin. The big hit was the Irish music playlist they created and shared to get us in the Irish spirit. The home beautiful and is in a stunning neighborhood with a short walk to a tram that quickly gets you into the city center to see all the sites Dublin has to offer. We loved our time in Dublin and look forward to welcoming this lovely family to our cabin in South Lake Tahoe. -
Ciara and family’s home was the perfect end to our month long trip. There were yummy treats and a card waiting for us when we arrived and the house was absolutely spotless. The kids were super excited to be staying in a house with kids of its own. So many toys to be played with and a fun yard to burn energy in! Communication before, during and after was seamless and felt like talking to an old friend. The location is incredible. So much to see and do within a few minutes walk of the house and so close to the centre of the city. We chose to take the tram into the city, with tired kids it was the perfect way to see more without having to walk the entire way. This was a perfect end to an incredible trip. We truly hope to meet in person one day. Possibly this summer! -
Staying in Ciara's family home was better than imagined. Close enough to city center but quietly in the nearest suburbs. Their location is perfect for using public transport and we were able to utilize Leap cards to get to all parts of Dublin and surrounding county for over a week. There's plenty of eating/shopping within a 15 minute walk. Taking care of their dog, Everest, was fairly easy as well and a welcome bit of extra. Communication all throughout was stellar. We highly recommend Ciara as hostess and this home as 5 star exchange for PLU families. -
Ciara’s home could not have been more perfect! Comfortable, spacious and absolutely beautiful - it was a wonderful space to relax in during our stay in Dublin, and in the perfect location too, in a lovely quiet neighbourhood close to pubs, shops, and transport links. Communication was easy throughout. Thank you for your kind welcome, Ciara! -
What a lovely family and what a cozy and at the same time huge house. We enjoyed every minute of our six day globe stay in Dublin. It was wonderful to meet sweet Ciara, Everest and the three beautiful daughters when we arrived. We especially loved the sunny terrace, the atrium and the nice kitchen where we spent a lot of time enjoying a beer or a glass of wine. We did two day trips with Getyourguide, saw the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Galway, Dunluce castle, the Dark Hedges, Giant‘s Causeway and Belfast. You absolutely have to hike in Howth!!! It was a wonderful vacation after one year where we couldn’t travel due to health issues and my mother‘s death. It is fantastic to back again. Thank you 🙏 -
Where to start! Oh my goodness what a brilliant exchange! Ciara's home takes your breath away when you open that beautiful door and see how big it is!! I almost fell over (and that's before a Guinness!). So much space. so beautifully decorated and full of family love. Myself and my boys loved every moment in Dublin and this fabulous home. We've been chatting for so long now, we've become friends, we've actually had a lot of laughs planning this non-sim exchange. I'm so thankful for all the help and advice received as it enabled us to make the most of our time in Dublin. We left so full and so exhausted we needed a day to not eat and recover ha ha! Thank you for the fab welcome gifts, so kind. Much needed family time spent in a wonderful home and city. Once in a while and exchange happens that blows you away - this was one of them. Until August - we will see you in Sorrento then. THANK YOU. Vanessa & the boys. -
Thank you so much to Ciara and family for letting us stay in their home in Dublin, we have enjoyed ourselves very much! The home is not only beautiful but very comfortable, with anything you may need during your stay, and also perfectly located to visit the city. We have been in daily contact during our stay. Ciara has always kept an eye on us to provide support, advice, which has been great! We highly recommend the destination, the home and of course this family if you want to enjoy an exchange. Thanks once again Ciara and family for everything. You are welcome to enjoy the south of Spain. Lots of love!! -
What a beautiful exchange ! We had a great time in the superb house of Ciara and her family: the welcome was simply perfect and we found more than we needed when we arrived. The house guide was really complete with ideas for visits, a selection of restaurants and good addresses in the neighborhood or in the center of Dublin, easy to access by tram (which made our teenagers happy) or by bus, only 5 minutes walk from the house. We enjoyed the very green and quiet neighborhood, where we even had the opportunity to celebrate Halloween - an incredible evening with superbly decorated houses and all the children outside for a memorable Trick or Treats! The city of Dublin is very pleasant and it's a chance to be hosted by Ciara to discover it : our exchanges were very easy and pleasant throughout the stay and we really had the impression of being welcomed as friends without knowing each other before that... We would be delighted to meet them, and also to welcome them to our home next time : thank you again to all 5 of you for these great holidays ! Go raibh maith agat! -
Ciara’s home is spacious and close to the city. Great backyard and playroom for our kids. -
An absolutely beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood with a beautiful host! LOL this exchange was really perfect in so many ways. We were lucky to meet Ciara at her home for coffee before they left on their trip. She is so delightful - fun and friendly and she makes us wish we lived in Ireland! Their home is large and spacious and perfectly set up if you have have kids who love to play games and read and jump on a trampoline. Ours do and they loved it there. They are just a 15 min tram ride to the center of Dublin and the tram is a quick 5 min walk from their home. We didn’t rent a car while we were there. There are cool shops (and if you’re vegan an amazing healthy treats shop a 4 min walk) and groceries all walking distance. It was a perfect stay to enjoy the city but also get out of the city for a peaceful stay. A perfect blend of close city life and urban life all together. We highly recommend Ciara and her home as your stay in Dublin. Thank you Ciara for your most warm welcome, you’re a true PLU! -
Ciara and her families home in Dublin is fantastic. In a very green and spacious neighborhood (we even saw two foxes in the street!) and close to public transportation to Dublin center, or you can walk which takes about 30 - 40 mins (nice walk). The home is very comfortable, light and well equipped. What made our stay extra special though is the wonderful hospitality from Ciara and her family. We were so fortunate to have a chance to meet in person! Such a kind, welcoming and warm family. We were even met with home made cookies and nice local specialties. Communication was very easy and clear and we also received many tips and ideas on things to do around Dublin. Highly recommended to exchange with them! It was also wonderful to receive Ciara and her family in Norway. Don't hesitate to exchange with this lovely family! -
We experienced our first exchange thanks to ciara and her family:) it was a great weekend! the house is beautiful, very well decorated and in a very nice area close to transport. the welcome was perfect with small gifts. they adapted to our flight dates What happiness!!! we can't wait to meet them in France :) thanks again to all the family :) -
We had a great stay at Ciara’s home. The communication was really easy and really nice, and Ciara had everything set up for our arrival. The house is situated in a very nice area of Dublin, and it’s very easy to come and go with public transports to the city center and to the coast. The house itself is wonderful: quite big, very comfy, with everything you need to entertain kids. Our five years old was very happy of her stay there. I would definitely recommend you to stay at Ciara’s place, and to discuss with her and her family as they are really enjoyable persons. In short, we could not wish for a nicer exchange to visit Dublin! Thank you again, Ciara! -
What more can we say than PERFECT! We loved every minute of our exchange with Ciara and her family. As the first part of a non-simultaneous exchange, we were welcomed as friends in this beautiful and warm house, perfectly located not far from the city center in a beautiful area of Dublin. Communicating with Ciara before and during our stay was easy, friendly and fun. We felt at home from the first moment. The house is very spacious, very clean and tidy and the dinner on arrival (yum yum homemade bread!) and our little glass of Paddy (I found out I love Irish whiskey!) was the icing on an already perfect cake :-) The information about the tours, walks, restaurants and pubs was invaluable even if we didn't have time to try everything! A word of advice: talk to this adorable family! True PLU spirit! We had a wonderful time, we feel like we have "friends" now in Dublin. I'm waiting for you guys! Normandy is waiting for you! -
I am very happy that we were in Ciara's house. All communication went without a problem. Ciara was very helpful in preparing a surprise for my husband. We celebrated his birthday in Dublin. Ciara's house was ideal for our short visit, and Ciara gave us great ideas so that we could prepare a great surprise. And she herself prepared a gift for Blaž. Thank you. Her house is clean, spacious and in a quiet neighborhood. There is a tram to the center and a small shop just a few blocks away. Our short trip was great and we would love to come back to Ciara again. Next time, I hope to meet in person. Ciara and her family are always welcome to visit us in Slovenia.
