Sams place is perfect for a stay in Dublin. Sam is welcoming, kind and meticulously thorough with check in procedure and providing a comfortable stay. We were able to cook, shower, do our laundry and use his apartment as if it was our own. He does have three cats who mind their own business and we loved them. The room is comfortable, bed is very nice and we all-around recommend Sams place. And it is basically on Temple Bar, couldn’t ask for more.
