Sam's space was perfect for my wife and I. It was right in the city centre and with-in walking distance to everything. Guinness was only a short walk. There were pubs all around so if you wanted a bite to eat or a brew, you didn't need to go far. There was also a fantastic coffee shop right across the street that has a really nice breakfast/brunch menu and serves 3fE Coffee. There are a couple of flights of stairs, but, when you see the rooftop patio and sit outside to enjoy the evening, those stairs don't seem so bad. Sam and Ab were super easy to communicate with as far as checking in and things to see and do in the area. Their place was very clean and we thought the bed was really comfy! There are also two cats that are friendly and we didn't mind giving them some head scratches. We would recommend Sam's place anytime if you're visiting Dublin!
