Helena is a delightful individual and a wonderful host! I was grateful to have been able to stay with her. Helena's great about staying in communication and has a modern apartment that she keeps exceptionally clean. Helena's apartment is REALLY handy to just about everything a visitor to Dublin could want: a LUAS (Dublin's public transit system) stop and a short ride to downtown and all Dublin's sightseeing attractions, a grocery store, the Jameson distillery, the Guinness brewery, restaurants (check out Boojums!), coffee shops (Third Space), Phoenix Park and Phoenix Zoo, the Generator hostel next door where one can use the lockers and take advantage of their bar offerings and music, and LOTS of other great places. If Helena continues hosting, take her up on the opportunity to stay here.
