Kirsty's place is quaint and cozy. I would recommend to someone travelling alone. There is a good pub on the corner if you want a local experience a very good Italian place as well. There is even a brunch place within a few steps if that's your thing. Kirsty is a warm and welcoming host and a good source of local knowledge. The main attractions in Dublin are only a 10-15min cab ride away. Great value if you are willing to stay outside the city centre and are looking for an authentic Irish experience.
