A great stay with everything within walking distance. Close to the UCD bus stop which made it easy to get to my graduation ceremony (why we were in Dublin). The pub next door was having many Christmas parties and the bedrooms got some noise coming from the pub, but earplugs helped and the noise died down about midnight every night. We used the kitchen to cook some meals but ate out most of the time (M&Son Grafton Street has some great prepared meals). Host was very communicative and responded right away. Overall we enjoyed the stay and it allowed me to show my family Dublin.
