Description
I live with my two adult children in Dublin Ireland. We live close to Marlay Park which is a large park with many amenities. Guests will be able to take part in the weekly park run which takes place in the park every Saturday morning. There is also a weekly market available in the Park.
We are close to the picturesque Dublin Mountains. The start of the famous Wicklow Way Walk is a 15 minute walk from our house.
For those guests who would like to explore Dublin City there are bus links to the city within a fifteen minute walk from our home. A thirty minute walk will bring you to Dundrum Town Centre. There is a small theatre and plenty of shopping and restaurants available there. There are also bus linkages there.
There are also many restuarants and pubs within fifteen minutes walking distance of our home.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I will eat most meals with our guests and the general conversations at the table will help familiarise our guests with some of our Irish customs. I will also help them find any local amenities which they may like to access. My adult children may join us at some of these meals.
Close access to Marlay Park should facilitate guests see some gaelic football or hurling training or matches. These are the traditional sports in Ireland. However, there is no guarantee that our guests visits will correspond with these sports.

Help
I would like help weeding and tidying our garden. Some painting may be required.
Help would also be appreciated with general tidying and maintenance in the house, this may involve cooking and cleaning up afterwards.

Accommodation
There are two rooms set aside for my guests.
The first room is a large twin/triple ensuite. There is a double bed and a single bed in this room.
The second room is a single room and the bathroom will be shared with my family.
I will be cooking most meals and will eat with my guests. However, on some occasions I would expect some help with the cooking and cleaning.
What else ...
Guests may not bring nuts into the house. Nuts of any kind may not be eaten while visiting with me as a member of my family has a severe nut allergy.
