Joan and Leo were really hearty and helpful hosts! The room is small but incredibly cosy - it was clean and comfortable (especially the bed - big and comfy). If you are a bookworm it is the best choice you can make, the bookshelf is full of various books on various topics. The location was great, close to a bus stop where you can take a bus straight to Trinity College. The city center is in walking distance, so you can make an evening stroll instead of taking a bus. DART station is just 10 minutes walking from the apartment. The neighbourhood is cosy and authentic - small pubs with live music, few restaurants (serving delicious full Irish breakfast!) and a Tesco store just 5 minutes away.
