This is an exceptional place to stay. It is within easy walking distance to the city centre, and yet you feel as if you are at home, in a non-touristy neighborhood. The townhome is bright, clean, warm, and allowed us each personal space, as well as great gathering areas in both the living room and kitchen. One perk we all enjoyed was an electric massage cushion on one of the chairs in the living room; heaven after a long plane ride or a day of walking!
For a dollar value, you can't beat it; the rate was less than that of a youth hostel, for four of us. We were amazed at the quality we got for what we paid.
Aiofe, Phil's host, gave us really great suggestions for restaurants that were not the usual tourist attractions, and she also left a map of Dublin along with them. She is so friendly and will help you with anything you need. She even arranged an early check-in for us, since we had large bags and had been travelling from the Western United States; for really tired travellers, this was the perfect touch.
All rooms were really clean, and the facilities were up to date and easy to use. We would highly recommend this townhome to those visiting Dublin.
