Olena truly went above and beyond, listening intently to every one of our requests—from our budget and ideal location to parking needs and the perfect bed size. Our adventure from Florida to Dublin, cheering on the Minnesota Vikings against the Pittsburgh Steelers at the legendary Croke Park, was unforgettable. While there, we enjoyed so many wonderful sights, and the location was spot-on, right in the heart of it all. We rented a car for our explorations, and the included on-site parking was a huge plus. And that large, firm bed? We slept like a dream—Olean's recommendation was perfect. It means the world when someone takes the time to choose a place that lets you truly recharge and relax. We can't recommend her enough!

Olena was, once again, such a huge help in organizing this trip and making sure every aspect of it ran smoothly. I take my time and vacations seriously and I truly value what she provides by taking over all of the planning, nuances, and communications so that I can get back to relaxing. She's the best if you want to be hands off and focus on the vacation.
