I can recommend Tara as a host and the room in her beautiful townhouse in Dublin!
The house is in a really quite little street about 40 minutes by bus away from the airport, to the city centre (e.g., temple bar) you need about 45 minutes if you walk. It is a really nice place in Dublin near to a very beautiful university campus and a nice little pub.
Tara was a really nice and welcoming host. The room was as described, very clean and cosy.
