Joan's place is newly renovated and very modern indoors. Very clean! It is a 20-30 minute walk to the center of Dublin . . . but the walk is very nice along the River Liffey and you'll be able to walk off any beer, whiskey and food that had been consumed earlier. The kitchen and bathrooms are fancy and very modern and the beds are very comfortable. A nice food market is just across the street plus a few pubs right around the corner. Great place for runners since the Irish Sea is nearby plus other running paths. Thanks for letting us stay in your home!
