Our first experience of Dublin could not have been warmer or more hospitable. Conor was a delightful host, giving us a thorough tour and explanation of the house and then responding quickly to any further questions that arose during our 4-night stay. The house was extremely comfortable, spacious (even for our party of 5), and clean, and we appreciated the welcome treats of fruit and sweets in the kitchen. The neighbourhood is safe, full of excellent pubs, coffee shops and restaurants, a small pharmacy, a couple of small convenience stores and close to beautiful Herbert Park. We had a rental car and Conor provided us the parking permits we needed to park on the street in front of the house, but since the house was so close to everything we never used the car while we were in Dublin. We could walk to Merrion Square, Grafton Street, St. Stephen's Green, etc. in 15-20 minutes, or take one of the cabs always waiting only steps away for 8-9 Euros. It's also a 5-10 minute walk to the DART rail system and the public pool. For the information of prospective visitors who have problems with stairs, living is on three levels, but this is normal for a 19th-century European home and didn't cause any difficulty for us. All in all, a brilliant place to stay and if we're ever back in Dublin we'll definitely try to book it again. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us, Conor, and for making us feel so welcome!
