We booked a room at Burak's as we were arriving into Dublin on a late flight and needed someone to spend the night that wasn't too far from the airport.
We were welcomed by one of his tenants, who accommodated our late arrival and was very prompt with all communication in advance. The place was a described and perfect for our one night stop over.
We enjoyed a continental breakfast the following morning with other guests and as we left pretty much immediately I can't say much about the area which is largely residential but does have some shops close by.
