I moved to Dublin recently. This was my starting point in Dublin. I am feeling very lucky for staying at hidden gem with Niall and Veasna for one month. They were very friendly, helpful and welcoming through my stay. I got tones of useful advice about life in Dublin. The location is great as well. You can reach there by bus 16 or 797 express from the airport directly. You have different eating, drinking and shopping options nearby. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk to St. Stephen's Green, the Grafton Street or Iveagh Gardens. There is a nice little garden at the back of the house with a heater and beautiful flowers to have some fresh air. As a smoker it was an advantage for me. A central located, clean place with lovely hosts, this place is highly recommended.
