Nice place to explore Dublin!
It's 5 min walk from St. Patrick, 10 min from Christ Church Cathedral (also useful bus stop) and from Dublin Castle, and 15 min from the Temple Bar. Jim's house is spacious and old-fashioned, it gives a sense of Irish entourage. There are three guests rooms, so some shower contest expected. Wake up early, and return late - Dublin and surroundings are extremely attractive. We were welcome having self-served breakfast from "what you find in the kitchen", and we haven't left hungry. Our room was surprisingly quiet, thanks to the backyard window. It was a very good sleep after a long Dublin pilgrimage day. You can't miss Jim's passion to golf -- neither in room decoration, nor in his day plans. Jim don't provide guest with maps or printed recommendations, but answers every questions in details. Finally, I didn't see his cats during a 4-nights-stay -- you'll be hopefully more lucky.
