Colin is a great host, full of local insight and help. He runs the pub downstairs where you will no doubt find many pints of perfectly poured Guinness. He'll show you the pub's, restaurants to visit and we liked every one of his recommendations. The place has many, tight stairs so pack your suitcase accordingly. Good news is it's right smack in one of the busiest parts of town for locals. Bad news is the same. Don't expect to go to bed early on the weekend without lots of noise below. Better to join the party and sleep in. I'd still recommend ear plugs or a noise maker. The beds were quite comfy and showers were small, but in line with what you might expect from a European place. The place also has a balcony which was nice to have drinks, watch the action without bumping shoulders with the pub patrons.
