I had the most authentic local experience with Ann Marie! Definitely stay with her if you want to experience what it's like to live like a Dubliner. Ann Marie's listing was very clean, beautiful and cozy. I loved the location of it- quiet yet close to a great pub. I didn't explore the area much but from what I've seen, it's great. Ann Marie asked me to go to the pub near her place and it was great pub. She even drove me to Howth on Saturday morning because I haven't been and wanted to go! I was so happy and thankful for that :) Ann Marie is a great host and anybody who stays with her will be treated like a friend!
