Linda's place is the perfect option if you're looking for a very easy-going, budget-friendly and comfortable place to be based in while you're in Dublin. The bed is really comfy, the room has plenty of storage space and the bathroom is equipped with all the basic amenities.There's a fully equipped kitchen which is essential but perfectly functional, with a Dunnes store about a 10/15 minutes stroll away where you can do your basic shopping.
The place is in a residential area, so very few pubs around if you're looking for a drink (but there are some that you can get to on foot).It's an easy 35-45 minutes bus drive to the City centre so that might not be ideal if your plan is to make multiple trips to the City in a day. I enjoyed my rides, but if you're here for just a couple of days, you will spend many time on buses (traffic!).
Linda is very pleasant and incredibly helpful. She will go out of her way to make your stay enjoyable but is never intrusive.
