Pat's place was very clean, and nicely decorated. Worked great for our family of 5 adults. A bit cozy by American standards, but worked fine for us. Pat had some snack food and some beer and cider in the fridge. Pat was very good about communicating, and came over right away when there was a problem with the hot water. Even left us with a box of chocolates for our troubles! We had an early arrival in Dublin, and Pat was very accommodating to allow us to check in early. Location is about a mile and one-half from the city center, but easily accessible by public transportation. We all bought a 3 day "LEAP" pass for 19.50 Euro and could get to and from anywhere by public transportation.
