There are many positives to share. The location is excellent - on a main bus route into the centre, and also at a stop for the Airport Express coach (probably a five minute walk away). The room is sufficient for three to stay comfortably. The beds were comfortable, and there was a toaster, microwave, kettle and some dishes. The main thing for us was that the host showed great flexibility in meeting us for checkin very early in the morning and letting us have an afternoon checkout (even helping us take our luggage to the bus stop). Of course this was possible because the next guests were not arriving until later in the evening after us, but John allowing us this flexibility made a huge difference. I doubt we would have been given this anywhere else in Dublin. Make sure you turn the switch outside the bathroom to turn on the water heater tank for a shower. The shower is pretty poor, and soap was not provided (at the sink either) so be sure to bring your own. Towels are provided though.
