Bezaubernder Vermieter
Pros:

Davide ist ein Goldstück, sehr zuvorkommend, wir durften spontan beim Abendessen mitessen und wir bekamen Dank ihm ein tolles Pub-Erlebnis beschert. Das Haus ist absolut sauber.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr eng, aber das ist eben Großstadt, da kostet Raum viel Geld.

No complaints for what I paid
Pros:

Friendly owner and everything was very clean and working properly. Cheap and cheerful

Cons:

The people next door started talking at midnight after a few drinks and I couldn't close the window because it was too warm but it didn't last too long and the toilet was all the way downstairs not ideal but workable.

Pros:

I think this was one of the most comforting moments during my month long trip in Europe because Davide is very kind. I was here with another guest who kind of brought us all together, so I enjoyed being at Iris House. It was interesting hearing perspectives from two people who have lived around this area for awhile. Once I realized being here was like being at home, I settled right in by cooking and doing laundry. Davide cooked some food too, a frittata using some eggs I bought and then vegetables from his fridge.

I think I prefer getting to know a couple people at a time and this was the place for that. The bed was very comfortable.

nice residential area house and you can use everything in common areas, very friendly host
Pros:

very nice cozy house in a quiet residential area of West Belfast and you can use all the common areas, incl bathroom with bathtub n modern shower head, hot water always available. The host is very nice and kindly allowed me to stay a little longer than normal checkout time which was greatly appreciated. Modern locks on house door and your room, I always felt safe even as lone female traveller. There is a garden and garden furniture which you can use (I didn’t on this short trip), teabags, coffee n vegan milk was provided and there’s a guest fridge where you can store your chilled food if needed. It’s about 35min on foot in a straight line into the city centre which is not too bad, and it’s a nice walk. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

the key safe locker is located at a very low point on the wall which can be tricky to reach if you carry a shoulder bag and have to bend down.

8/10 would recommend if youre a budget traveller
Pros:

Davide was sound and accommodating. Just a chill normal bloke made us feel welcome.

For the price paid it had a comfy bed and a pretty much anything you would need


Would recommend for a value for money only 30 mins walk from center

Cons:

Lack of WiFi is the only thing I could knock my rating down but it was suggested its coming soon

Pros:

Wie zu Hause, man kann die Küche mitbenutzen und hat einen Kühlschrank. Davide ist super, hab ihn oft gesehen und es war, als hätte ich einen Freund besucht. Er wohnt ja auch da, man wohnt also bei ihm im Grunde.
Die Lage ist gut, normale Wohngegend, zu Fuß kann man das Zentrum gut erreichen, wem das zu weit ist, nimmt den Bus.
Es gab zwei große Kopfkissen, das war prima.
