Joe’s home was very charming and full of fantastic art. You can tell this flat is well loved. We came to Dublin to visit a friend who was teaching at Trinity College, and Joe’s incredibly equipped kitchen provided the perfect spot for us to cook many delicious dinners and catch up. The neighborhood is vibrant and alive, and descending into Joe’s home provided the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. We were amazed by how much light there was in the mornings when the shutters were open. We did find the home a little chilly coming from California, but as long as we wore our sweaters in the evening, it was fine. The heat and hot water schedule was a little difficult to manage, but we figured this was due to the European energy-saving measures in place this winter. The bathroom in the master is wonderful, and both beds were very comfortable. They kept us very warm and cozy at night. The brown bread and butter was a nice touch, too. We would definitely stay here again.
