I have stayed two nights at Helena’s place, so I’ll state from my experience what are the good points as well as bad points to make it easier for future fellow dwellers.
Good points
* her place is immaculately clean and the deco of the room and house tastefully furnished.
* Bus stop to the city centre literally outside her house
* Within 25min by bus you’ll be in the city centre and last bus stops at 23:30pm
* Everything you need is provided in the room
* Toilet conveniently located next to the room
Bad points
* WiFi password do not work however I have enough data so didn’t bother after few failed attempts
* I am light sleeper so personally for me the wall and ceiling is very thin so literally I could hear when the household members talking at night, the room adjacent to the living room so when tv is on or in the morning when family members talking or when walking above the floor the creaking sound vibrates from the ceiling as the room located on the ground floor
* The room was quite cold however there’s standalone portable radiator which wasn’t emitting enough heat so at night personally I have found it cold
* Mattress quite firm and even pillow too and usually tendency to sleep on firm mattress but even for my standard was rather very firm.
* Because I stayed during the weekend, I have felt there was little privacy when you leave the blinder open during the day as the room facing the back garden. Saw family member or herself doing their usual household chorus in the garden.
* Sunday morning be mindful no morning buses as it starts from 8:45am so I missed out my excursion tour which I suppose to meet up in the city centre by 8am. However taking taxi is quite expensive which will cost you €30 or more and there’s no Uber operates in Dublin.
* Personally in the beginning directions to her house bit confusing however after much back and forth enquiry managed to reach to her house.
