John's place is a lovely house in Drumcondra, about 30 minutes' walk from Trinity College and the surrounding area. John was super nice waiting for us and taking some time to give us suggestions on what to do in Dublin. The place is small but perfectly suitable for 2 people for a short stay. The beds are the most comfortable I've slept in in Ireland, it was very hard to get up to catch the bus this morning! :P The area is very quiet but a lot of shops and cafes are close by.
