Host was not there as both Georgia and Garr had to go to a wedding in London. They had a friend staying there who got us the key and showed us around. The neighborhood was fine and we were within walking distance to Temple Bar area and all the major sites in Dublin. We were out all day and did not get back to 11pm every night so we basically just slept there. The room was nice and the bed very comfortable. A little noisy at night, but hey, you are in a city so what do you expect. Shared bathroom that had a pumping system that was a bit noisy but we lived with it. One challenge we had was the parking. We decided to get a car at the last minute and all the parking is permit parking around there. If you have a car let Georgia know in advance as she has a friend that might be able to get you a permit. I got the boot on the wheel as I did not move the car early enough. Luckily I saw the guys out the window and they waited until I paid the 80 Euros fine over the phone and removed the boot. We did not spend much time with Georgia and Gar but they seem like lovely people. Kitchen was quite small, but we weren't there to cook so it was okay with us. Great location. I think if it was closer to Temple bar the noise factor from the pubs would have been a problem.

PS...love Ireland, love Dublin, and the Irish are the friendliest people in the world!
