John was a fabulous host, he got in touch before we arrived, gave us tips how to get to his place and awaited our arrival to welcome us and show us around the place. He gave us a bus card to use to get cheaper tickets and was always available for any questions. The place is appr 20-25min from OConnell Street on the bus 16 which also goes to the airport. Its a nice, quiet neighbourhood with a lovely cafe nearby and shops, etc. Only little minus was that the place wasn't as clean as expected. The bathrooms was fine, the bedroom could have done with a bit more hoovering. All in all a great experience though and I'd go back.
