Paola is very selective in choosing who she lets into her home, therefore it is a safe haven for single female travellers. The home is stylish and very clean, the family is lovely. The room has everything you need, the bed is comfortable. There is no outside noise problem at all, something I appreciate very much. You share the bathroom with the guests of the other guest room next to yours. Bus 38 takes you directly into the center of Dublin. You have to be careful planning your bus route if you have to be somewhere by certain time, because the traffic is really busy most times, the journey into Dublin's centre will take 45-60 minutes, it was never less than 45 minutes, and one morning I almost missed my excursion bus because one 38 bus didn't stop at the bus stop being full of people, and the second one 15 minutes later took 1 hour to get into the centre in mad morning rush hour traffic, around 7.30 am.
