We have never felt more welcome in a city and James and Tom added to that feeling. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. After arriving Saturday we were warmly invited in and enjoyed some coffee and biscuits, which were perfect after a long day of traveling. James and Tom took a genuine interest in our life in the states and what our plans for while we were in Ireland. Each morning they would ask what our plans for the day and evening were and how our day was. They provided recommendations for food and drink within walking distance of their home. One evening Tom let us know that the pub we had planned on visiting had closed their kitchen for the night, and he provided us an idea for a replacement. That replacement pub became our favorite. We have found our home away from home for future trips to Dublin.
Also: The water pressure in the shower is wonderful after a long day of exploring.
