How Airbnb Belfast began …
Hi 👋🏽
I'm Lauren, your main host, and this was my home for many years where I made many very happy memories! The location and potential of this place was too good to give away when I met my husband Paul, and so together, we made it into a little holiday home for couples and families to enjoy whilst city-breaking in our fab city of Belfast!
I didn't realise until I started Airbnb back in 2020 that I was such a perfectionist! Anything we make from bookings is invested right back in, so returning guests will notice changes to flooring, furniture, garden deck, beds, mattresses and decor, all completed in 2022.
New art, kitchen and cooking equipment upgrade, garden furniture and a fresh lick of paint followed in 2023.
An entire new bathroom suite was installed in 2024 - it was due in late 2023 but we ran into issues with the installation, BUT, finally after years of saving and getting time allocated in the diary to co-incide with the right people, it's in and it's beautiful!

A happy little place for you to make memories

Full transparency - this will always be a work in progress to improve and nurture this little gem.
Not to mention that Paul and I both work full time! So much of the basic improvements are added in our spare time. The bigger projects require some expert help!
In 2024, we’ll continue to improve on anything needed and we’re always happy to take suggestions from guests on how to improve the apartment so please do feel free to share your thoughts.
The difficult part is finding space in the diary to implement the changes! We’ve been so lucky to welcome guests from all over the world and we get super excited when guests return for another trip! I didn't think we'd be so popular but with an awesome team helping us with cleaning and maintenance, Belfast being so in demand and keeping our costs lower than all of the competition, we have been pretty much back-to-back since restrictions lifted - so if you're booked with us thank you so very much for supporting this very small business of ours!
We welcome likes and tags on our social media platforms and please let us know if we can advise on anything to help with planning your trip, we live and work in the city and are big foodies!
