Self Employed PR and Events Manager
We are Louise & Mark and little Anna - who is 7. We've travelled lots and have so many more places we'd like to visit. We love welcoming people into our home, which we have been doing for almost 5 years (via (website hidden)).
We have met so many wonderful people and been able to share some insider information about Dublin and help our guests plan their stay, where to see, what to eat, where to avoid (sometimes equally important!!)
We're at home quite a bit, and are happy to have coffee or maybe a glass of wine together, however we're not intrusive and take each guest on their own wish for interaction levels :)
We also offer additional extras such as airport transfers and meals at a nominal fee
Great place! We would stay again!
July 2011My stay with Louise, Marc and Annah was great! They are lovely people, caring and very helpful. Interesting to talk with. I wish I had had more time to share with them. The place is wonderful, very tidy, very nice, and not far from Dublin downtown. I wholeheartedly recommend people to stay with the Caldwell family! Thanks for all, Louise and Marc!!!!!
Thanks you, Louise, Marc and Anna!!! You are lovely hosts, helpful and intelligent people. So happy to have stayed with you. Your house is very nice, the room I stayed in was impeccably clean, and so was the bathroom. Excellent! Thanks again and hope to book with you next time I am in Dublin!!
Unforgettable and unbeatable is only two of the many positive words that pop into my head when I think about our Stay with Louise, Mark and Anna. We could not ask for better hosts and more beautiful and comfortable accommodation. The bus that goes to town literally stops right outside the door which makes travelling to and from the city centre as well as the airport very easy. The room was excellent, neat and the bed was a dream! The private en suite bathroom really makes a difference and we... More »
We had a wonderful few days stay in Dublin, with Louise, Mark and Anna being the perfect hosts :) They were friendly and helpful yet unobtrusive, we had great chats but also came and went at our leisure. The room is lovely, well laid out, bright and spotlessly clean. We had lovely weather during our stay and we really appreciated the door to the garden where we had our morning coffee. The location is good, while not being in the city centre, it had its benefits. I run every morning and... More »
Louise and her family were the perfect hosts for our stay during St. Patrick's day. They were the kindest hosts as they even took us to Dublin center to get a bite at 23.00 on our arrival and to the rental car station on our departure. Thanks for a great time.
Lovely hosts :) Louise and Mark were awesome and always available. Since our arrival, when we needed to eat something in the city and Mark took us there, to the end of our stay, when we were looking for a rent-a-car. In between there was always something to eat/snack at home. It just feels like home. :)
Louise, Mark and Anna could not have been more gracious, warm, and patient hosts. Their home is lovely, clean and comfortable. Staying with them is more like staying with family than with strangers, and the proximity of their house to the city center was perfect. I can't recommend a stay with this wonderful family enough!
Louise and her family were absolutely wonderful to stay with; the accommodation is first class: Young Anna makes a mean espresso!
I cannot say enough great things about Louise, Mark and Anna...they helped to make my stay in Dublin a perfect one. I was traveling on my own and after a long flight and an interesting multi-bus journey from the Dublin airport, I finally arrived at their home. Louise and Anna were there to welcome me and even shared their meal and a glass of vino with me. I could have have had better treatment at a 5-star hotel! Their home is in Chapelizod which is a village a bit outside of the Dublin... More »
5 star stay! Louise and her family are lovely, friendly and informative. Any questions about dublin, just ask!! The house is beautiful, and the room and guest bathroom are both spotless and inviting. We definitely appreciated our chocolate treat on arrival! Highly recommend staying here.
A comfortable, clean place, with very friendly hosts. Thankyou, Susie
I stayed over at the Caldwell's for a couple of days and it was really good. They are a very nice family and the atmosphere in their home is great. The accomodation is just perfect. Highly recommendable.
Louise and Mark were fabulous hosts -- helpful, kind, and very pleasant to chat with. My only regret was that we didn't get to know them better -- we were so jet-lagged that we slept past noon each day! But when we did finally get up, there was a lovely breakfast waiting for us. The accommodations were charming and comfortable as well. Thank you, Louise and Mark!
So accommodating! And helpful when it came to things to do and local attractions. Thanks so much for the great stay!
Louise, Mark and Anna were terrific hosts. The room was large, clean and comfortable. It was an easy bus ride to the center of Dublin, and met our needs perfectly. They answered our many questions, both before and during our trip. We would highly recommend! Thank you!
I have greatly enjoyed my stay with Louise, Mark, and Anna. They made me feel right at home and were always extremely helpful. As a first experience in a guest house, I felt very comfortable and welcome thank to Louise and Mark friendliness and hospitality. I strongly recommend this location for everyone visiting Dublin.
Amazing home with great hosts!!! Location was very close to the city with a bus stop right outside the door. Louise was very friendly and helped us navigate the city, find local place to eat at and helped get us to the airport. I can't say enough good thoughts about this family. We would reccomend the home to anyone! Thank you Louise and Mark!
Such a lovely experience. Louise Mark and Anna were very welcoming and friendly and really made me feel at home in their beutiful house. The rooms are gorgeous, with lovely touches like brochures of what's on in Dublin and tea and coffee making facilities left by the bed. What's more, its a very easy location to get into the centre of Dublin and Louise and Mark went above and beyond - helping me out with recommendations and even setting up a DVD and popcorn for when I got in and was too...

Louise, Mark (and of course Anna) made the Airbnb team's stay fantastic in Dublin. Everything was spotless and modern. The beds offered a great night sleep (comfier than my own bed!) and the bathroom was absolutely amazing. The shower was inviting and Louise even left little shampoo and soaps for us to use. The rooms are separate enough and have their own bathroom to offer privacy but you also have the option of great conversation over a bottle of wine or cup of tea. If you are coming to... More »
Wondeful hosts, wonderful accommodations and perfect location! I couldn't have asked for anything better to start my Ireland experience. Louise, Mark and Anna made me feel right at home. I left wishing I lived in Dublin and could be their friend. :-)
Louise and Mark were great hosts for our stay. We got in very early in the morning, and they were very accommadating to our early arrival time. The room was beautiful and clean, and they provided warm, Irish hospitality as promised. They even went above and beyond to help us out with a tricky situation early on a Sunday morning. Thanks a ton Mark and Louise!
Very nice and clean room and friendly hosts. Would fully recommend.
Louise has such a beautiful family I feel honored that I was able to meet and stay with them. I only wish I had more time to socialize with them, as I had a very busy schedule. The location was great and I would definitely stay with them again if I ever find my way back to Dublin!
Louise, Mark, and Anna were wonderful hosts. They welcomed me into their beautiful home and did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. We frequently ate breakfast together and I had a large room and private bath. They also recommended great places in and around Dublin for me to see, all of which were fantastic suggestions. I highly recommend staying here if you have a the opportunity.
Dublin was cool. Louise was great! Had a beer ready for me when i walked in the door, cooked dinner when i was around! Helped out with things to do, great room, close to train station! Was about 15 euro trip from temple bar area if you stayed out late past train time. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for somewhere in Dublin!
Louise and her family were wonderful to host. They were clean and quite. We would love to have them again!
