Micheál's place is about a 30 minute walk from the center of Dublin or an easy bus ride. It's also just a 5 minute walk from Rathmines, where you'll find restaurants, cafes, pubs, groceries, everything. The place was a bit on the cold side (I was there in January) with a tiny electric shower and sink I never managed to get hot water out of (though the shower was very hot). But all else was fine and clean and they provided me with plenty of towels and clear instructions on the place. For the price, it was well worth it, and VERY quiet (double glazed windows and a quiet street corner), which was nice considering the noise of the city center. My thanks to the hosts!
