I had a really good stay at Andrew's place, the location is convenient: 150 meters away from Airport Bus station (Smithfield) and I could get evrywhere walking around. Gate Theatre is 15 min walk, Temple Pub is even less. Thank you for a good suggestion to go to Howth, which is 30 min by train. The room is really nice and comfortable to sleep, I had enough place to store my bags, it was warm and I had my balcony. No problems by check -in, even though I have booked my stay just one day in advance. Hope to stay with you on my next trip to Dublin.
