Stayed in Carmel's house for only one night. Got a great night of sleep, the neighborhood is quiete, but 10 minute walk from nice pubs, markets and restautants. It's near a bus stop, that can take you right to the center or Dublin.
Carmel's Mom hosted me, very kind and careful lady. There is also a little dog. For lone travelers, it's a nice bnb to stay in. :)
