My wife and I spent three lovely weeks with Alexander and his family. They are terrific hosts, responding quickly to questions and offering many tips about Dublin and the surrounding area. If you like to sleep in, this might not be the place for you, since their two beautiful daughters are very energetic early in the morning. But we enjoyed having them as an alarm clock. To get to Dublin city center, you have to take a bus for 40-50 minutes. But there is a cafe and convenience store next door to the house, and two large grocery stores within a 10-minute walk. We really enjoyed staying here and spending time with the family, and would love to stay with them again in the future.
