I fully recommend staying with Claire and Gino. They provided breakfast and let me use their fridge and kitchen to cook, which always saves on the cost of travelling! There was a bench in their front patio area that I was able to securely lock my bike to. It felt like a very safe and comfortable neighbourhood. It is also a perfect location with a beautiful cycling commute to and from Dublin city centre-you can either go through Phenix Park or up to the royal canal depending on your destination. The room was large and cosy . There were two lockable doors in the room, one that came out right by the front door and one that came out by the toilet and kitchen...I found this a very handy feature! It seemed no one else but me used the toilet just next to the bedroom, which was great for privacy. Claire and Gino themselves were super friendly and hospitable. I really enjoyed our chats, but they were certainly not overbearing and let me do my own thing. They were very flexible about check in and check out times, which I really did appreciate as it made everything easier to plan. I had a great stay...thanks guys!
