Had a great time at Mick & Dee's place. It's a really nice house & while the neighbourhood isn't great (apparently), we found it fine & had no problems walking around at any time of day or night. It's nice & central - we walked to town a couple of times (15 minutes or so) and caught cabs at others (less than €10).
A bottle of wine & a block of chocolate to welcome us was a nice touch. We'd thoroughly recommend staying here.
