I had a pleasant stay at Rafael's place. The location is in a residential neighborhood so when it was time to get away from the lively and fun city center of Dublin, Rafael's neighborhood provided that much needed peace at the end of the night, although it is on the 46A Dublin Bus route. The location has a bus stop that's just steps away so that to me added a much appreciated convenience.
Rafael had great communication and provided valuable information prior to my arrival, including which bus line to take from the city centre, and to the airport when leaving early on a weekend.
His place was cozy, but it was just what I needed -- a place with clean toilet and shower, and a bed for the night.
The next time I find myself in Dublin, I will see about staying there again as Rafael does offer a great value.
