Alison is a host above and beyond your needs and expectations! Her intuition and to meet your unrealized needs, matched with myriad suggestions and links, made staying in Dublin two days very difficult- we had so many options for eating and entertainment and had to pick the best adventures. Her place is a great spot which is close to so many neighborhoods and venues, but in such a spot you get to wander into areas of Dublin you might have skipped if you stayed on the other side of the river or in more trendy/touristy locales. The balcony is a cozy spot for drinking and watching the sun, eventually, set. It reminded my son of being on the rooftops with Wendy and Peter in Peter Pan: spires and skyline galore! Without hesitation I recommend Alison and her place! Enjoy!
