Everything exactly as described and therefore a perfect place to stay if you're in Dublin for a couple of days. Aline is always happy to see you and in the mood for a little chat. St. Patrick is right around the corner and all the other stuff such as museums and the Temple Bar district are only a 15-20 minute walk away.
Make sure to check out the pub John Fallon each night for a last Guinness before you go to bed! It's right around the corner and you don't have the usual party crowd there but lots of locals and a generally wonderful atmosphere...
