“Ideal location, comfortable home. We planned the exchange just about 3 months before the actual exchange. kate and I organized everything in a flash. We did a home and car exchange and everything went fine., just as we planned. They have three small kids and everything went fine in our place. Dont let that small detail stop you from exchanging to this family. I went to Ireland expecting not to like it because of the weather, but in the end we loved it. irish are just so warm and friendly. You can not not like Ireland and this home and family played a speial role in that.”

Kate's reviews
As a host (4)“We spent 2 very nice weeks in Kate, Dan & family in Dublin. The house is very comfortable and cosy, with everything you will need, a big dining room and living room to enjoy your dinner after all day out visiting beautiful Dublin and Ireland. There is a very nice garden at the rear and a BBQ. The street is very quiet and secure. The Luas, Dublin public transport is very close to the house and you will be in the city center in few minutes. There is also a great and very nice mall very near where you will find everything you need for the everyday life.”
“Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine chez Kate et Dan. Leur maison est très bien située à deux pas d\'un grand centre commercial contemporain et à 5 min à pied de tram qui vous emmène en très peu de temps en plein centre de Dublin. Le quartier est calme et familiale. Nous avons eu la chance d\'être sur place au moment d\'Halloween, quelle ambiance! Notre fille en gardera un souvenir émue de cette soirée jusqu\'à la fin de ses jours! La maison est très agréable et intelligemment aménagé. La cuisine est très bien équipée, le jardin est grand et les chambres au calme. Au niveau de la communication, Kate et Dan sont exemplaires. Ils sont parfaits pour vous conseiller et vous donner des informations claires et précises. Ils ont parfaitement respecté notre maisons et cerise sur le gâteau, ils se sont très très bien occupés de notre chat. Nous les recommandons sans réserve et avec enthousiasme à la communauté. We had a lovaly week at Kate and Dan. Their home is very well located within walking distance of a large contemporary shopping mall and a 5 minute ride to the tram that takes you in a short time right in the center of Dublin. The area is quiet and family friendly. We were lucky to be there on Halloween, what a great atmosphere! Our daughter will keep an emotional memory of this evening until the end of her days! The house is very nice and cleverly arranged. The kitchen is very well equipped, the garden is large and the rooms are quiet. At the level of the communication, Kate and Dan are exemplary. They are perfect to advise you and give you clear and precise informations. They perfectly respected our homes. But most of all, they took very good care of our cat. We recommend them unreservedly and enthusiastically to the community.”
“I highly recommend this exchange if you want to visit Dublín and Ireland. The house is big and comfortable and only 5mn walking from train station and next to the big stores. The house is perfect if you travel with children. Moreover, if you exchange with Kate and Dan and their wonderful children, you\'re sure to do a successful exchange, they\'re very respectful of your belongings and they leave your house as clean as you left it. Thanks for all and wish to met you again!”
