Cillian's place was just as he described and more! What is not described is just how truly delightful Cillian is himself. His flexibility, kindness, and generosity made it us feel right at home when we arrived in Dublin, weary after our red-eye flight overseas.
I was in contact with Cillian prior to our arrival and he explained very clearly how to get to his place from the airport, it takes a little time but is very simple - one bus and a 5-10 minute walk had us at his doorstep.
Terenure is a lovely neighborhood, and it's very easy to access the city centre from Cillian's place via the bus without the expense of staying downtown.
My partner and I were headed onto the Wicklow Way beginning at Marlay Park, so we were ideally located for that as well.
The kitchen and bathroom are shared, but Cillian made it feel like we had them to ourselves, and when we did not, we truly appreciated his company.
He does have two small dogs, but they are very well behaved, and adorable.
If we could give Cillian's place more than 5 stars, we would!
