The place that Garrett has is perfect for exploring Dublin. The fact was clean and tidy and some nice facilities on offer (coffee machine). We only stayed for 3 nights so no need to use cooking or washing but these were available. So I think on the whole the place is great. Also the level of information Garrett supplies is excellent and is a very helpful person with replies and requests for information - so a great host. However I do wish to note things for travellers that you may like to know. The beds do not have what I would call 'proper' mattresses. They are quite thin foam mattresses which are really quite hard. All 4 of us noticed this. Also if you use the front bedroom it will be inevitably noisy and the blinds are pretty limited about keeping the daylight out (both you might expect from an old building much as the windows are double glazed it's still old sash windows). So if you like a dark and more quiet bedroom then come prepared with earplugs and eye shades, you will need them. This was no problem for us, I sleep through anything and my wife came prepared! However I do think for the money the mattresses could be improved for a better nights sleep, best wishes, Jim
