Kirsty is such a lovely host! When I came in, she had prepared lots of stuff to feel like at home, and even filled-in the fridge with things to eat for breakfast or during the day. When I finally found a place to live in Dublin, she even helped me transporting my luggage, and gave me a ride to Ikea to get started! Would definitely recommend for short stays.
The room itself is small as explained on the page, as it is a small cottage, but it didn't bothered me since you can access the different parts of the cottage without any problem. It is around 15min away on foot from the IFSC and probably 20min away from O'Connell and other places.
