I am originally from Dublin but now live abroad, and stayed in Diarmuid's place when I travelled to Dublin with 6 colleagues for a conference.
Diarmuid was a very warm, welcoming and friendly host and was always on hand during the week to answer questions and give tips on restaurants etc .
The property itself is impeccably clean, spacious, and has a fascinating history. It is also perfectly located in the vibrant area of Drumcondra which is very close to the city centre.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone coming to Dublin and all my travelling companions (6 people from 6 different countries) were delighted with our stay.
