We loved our (albeit short) stay at Cathal's place in Dublin! We arrived very late, but she was able to coordinate us picking up the keys, so that everything was easy, and we were able to keep our things there later in the afternoon on the day of check-out, as well. Location was great too-- walking distance to all of the major sites we visited, as well as bars and restaurants! She provided a whole list of suggestions, and we tried at least 2 of the places, with happy results. Only negatives: the shower was a little tricky, but we figured it out! And there is some street traffic/ construction going on across the street that made it a bit noisy early in the mornings. Still highly recommend!
