Brian was a lovely host. Very friendly and open und a great conversationalist. He also had to nice tips about some things to do in and around Dún Laoghaire.I was able to play the piano as well which was great. Doughball is a sweet little bean, who is very cuddly. She does shed a lot, so beware of dog hair on the ground floor. The room was exactly as described. Nice plush carpet and a big bed as well as enough space to put all of your stuff.
The bathroom was a tad small but that was completely fine.
It's very easy to get to the station to take the DART. And if you take the 703 bus you can also get to and from the airport easily. Would recommend!
