Our family of four very much enjoyed staying at Lex’s place in the Portobello neighborhood in Dublin. Lex was a friendly and helpful host, greeting us on our arrival with prosecco and sweets and then giving us a tour of his cozy home. The neighborhood has great bars, restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores and is a comfortable walk into downtown Dublin. Lex has a detailed listing of places to eat that he shared. We were able to eat at Delahunt in the neighborhood, where Megan and Harry had eaten week before. It was delicious. Staying at Lex’s really gave us a flavor for the neighborhood and the city of Dublin.
