It's all been said before, and believe me, it's all true - Barbara is an exceptional host. Communication was top notch and she was exceedingly easy to talk to by email, phone, text, and especially in person.
The charming cottage is picture perfect. Cleaner than any five star hotel and stocked with milk, juice, coffee, tea, cereal, peanut butter, jam, and bread (we Yankees love our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches). The beds are beyond comfortable, the showers are hot, the living room inviting, and the kitchen has everything one could possibly need.
The neighbourhood is quiet, safe, and away from the hub-bub of the city centre, yet just a short ten minute walk to the heart of the it all. This listing is without question the ideal place to stay in Dublin. My sincerest and highest recommendation for Barbara and her home!
