this should be more clearly described as a hostel. there are so many people staying in the houe, it felt weird getting up early and walking through the living room to the kitchen while a bunch of people were sleeping on the couches. definitely felt expensive for what it was but I think dublin is an expensive area. Paul is kind of a weird communicator- sent me a lot of scripted messages and was kind of late and dry in his actual responses. but overall, staying in a room with the bunk beds was fine and private: you get a key to lock up your stuff. not too far from the city I just walked everywhere.
