Laura and her daughter (and Roxxy the beagle!) were incredibly kind and welcoming during my one week stay. I had to work a few evenings while I was there and the internet worked well for video calls. The room, though quite small as described, provided everything I needed, including a small work desk. I enjoyed having my own private bathroom space. Just three things to note for other travelers: the shower is pretty small - worked fine for me but maybe not everyone. The room is right by the front door so you may need to wear earplugs at night like I did. And lastly, it's about a 25 minute walk into 'downtown' or a bus ride. If you don't like dogs, then this place is not for you because Roxxy is SUPER loveable and she will want to come sit with you - which is the BEST thing for me, and we fell in love immediately. :-) If I come back to visit Dublin someday, I would come to stay here again.
