I thought I was just getting a room in a convenient location. The location is certainly amazing, but Fionnuala instantly made me feel right at home, like I was visiting a long-lost favorite cousin. She has a wealth of knowledge about Dublin and Ireland in general. She helped me make plans and schedule taxis and generally get my bearings in a new country. The last morning, she made sure I had coffee and breakfast before a long trip. Her home is cozy with great character and special details, and the patio is a haven! The shared bathroom arrangement was never a problem. Comfortable bed and quality linens. I have already scheduled a return trip!
