Marie's home is warm, welcoming, and in a perfect location - not in the city center but not far removed with a multitude of ways to conveniently access anything I could've possibly wanted to visit (there is a bus stop & Luas tram station just a short walk away). I personally walked into town each morning and it took no more than 25 minutes, which was a wonderful way to mentally plan out my day. Getting to her home from the airport was super easy as well via the 16 bus or the Airlink757. The room I stayed in was cozy, quiet, and clean with plenty of storage space and a very comfy bed. And while I'm not much a breakfast person, the complimentary breakfast offering was delightful.
Marie is a top-rate hostess. She was super responsive prior to my arrival and nothing short of extremely helpful while I was there. I looked forward to morning chats over tea and getting to catch up in the evening when we crossed paths. That feeling of "coming home" after a long day out in an unfamiliar place was utterly priceless during my 10-night solo trip to Ireland. Marie is the true definition of 'good people' and I got a lovely glimpse of the 'good craic' people seek out while in her company. I would book with her again in a heartbeat and I would highly, without hesitation recommend her home to those looking for an enjoyable stay in Dublin.
