Alan was the most welcoming host of all. He was kind, helpful and basically our savior. The place was perfect, it was so big, that we did not even use one of the rooms. The kitchen had all the stuff you can need, we had our own bathroom and even though we used the same front door, we were perfectly separated. The house is 120 years old, really authentic, but in a good shape and the furniture is modern. I would recommend staying here for all of you visiting Dublin. The place is a bit further away from the center, but it is reachable by foot. It takes about 30-40 minutes to get downtown. We did mainly use the bus, which is 4 minutes walk away from the apartment and takes you to the center in 15 minutes. Alan recommends you sights to see if you are interested and answers your questions at all times. He is a really nice person and a perfect host.
