Joan & Lydia’s Place is super quaint and very peaceful. I was there all week alone and never once felt nervous or uneasy walking back n forth at nite or the early morning. My only suggestion would be if you are planning on spending time in Dublin, either rent a car or budget for taxis, the buses are unreliable if you are in a rush. I did take the bus serval times when I wasn’t in a hurry and it was fine then. I had a great week and enjoyed the solitude of this suite!
