We really enjoyed our stay in Dublin at Ben’s house. We had the whole basement floor to ourselves and were left undisturbed for the entirety of our trip. The room was cosy and warm every night when we got in from our nights out at the local pubs, however the bathroom was almost always freezing due to the fan outlet which exposed the room to the temperature outdoors. It had everything we needed and felt like a home away from home. It was about a 15/20 minute walk to the centre. Dublin is quite a small city so we had no issue walking everywhere but on the one night we were out too late to want to walk home in the bitter cold, it was more than easy to hop on public transport and get back. We’d stay here again if we were to ever come back to Dublin!
