Paolo was most helpful and welcoming.
Room, though small, was spotless and well equipped.
Own tea making facilities great!
Bed quite comfortable and shared bathroom just across hall. I had no hot water for washing in morning, but partly my fault as I did not available myself of the large shower.

Area, though far from Dublin by bus, very good and near wonderful shopping centre and beautiful Phoenix Park. Small park just beside the house was great for good half hour walk, or running if so inclined.

Quiet with little noise, even though road/bus route was easy 3 mins away. The family including very well brought up daughter were so friendly and easy to be with.

In morning I had breakfast with them and then they actually drove me to Connolly station to catch my train.

This is ideal stopover for single lady coming from airport, or Dublin if you have plenty of time t travel cheaply by bus from Dublin. No 38/38a found easily on O'Connell Street.

The house was impeccable and smelled beautiful with scented candles in the hall. Bathroom and kitchen were lovely and bright, and very well equipped.

The location was not the greatest I've been in, but very far indeed from the worst! I'm a mature single lady andci felt quite safe taking a walk in the park alone, though don't think I would venture out in the evening. But host and husband offer pick ups from airport, if at all possible.

Value for money very good and certainly preferable to a hostel!!

Thoroughly recommended to fit ladies , even wrinklies like me☺
