ACCOMMODATION IN IRELAND

# Three ways to live in Ireland. One local team.

A host family, a shared apartment or a purpose-built student residence, in Cork, Dublin or Galway. Every room is checked in person by our Irish team, contracted properly and paid through EazyCity. We have been doing this since 2004.

01 · HOMESTAY

## Live with an Irish family.

A vetted host family in a quiet residential area, close to public transport. You get your own furnished room and eat with the household, half board Monday to Friday, full board at weekends. It is the softest possible landing, and the fastest way to get comfortable speaking English.

EAZYCITY TIP

Many first-time arrivals book a homestay for their first four weeks to settle in safely, then move into a shared apartment once they know the city.
