I could not have been more pleased with the central location of the home. We were an easy walk to Temple Bar, Grafton Street, Trinity College and even the Dublin Zoo (about 25 minutes to the zoo). The home was cozy and clean and Doug had thoughtfully left us a bottle of wine and a tin of chocolates.
The neighborhood is not up-scale however the people are friendly and there are multiple stores (including 2 butchers), pubs and restaurants in the immediate area. The area is also quite quiet at nice, which we appreciated after a lot of walking around or the bus tours we were taking.
The hosts were extremely responsive and attentive, checking in on us multiple times over the course of our visit.
We were extremely happy with our stay.
