Places like Mary's Bnb are exactly why we use Airbnb in the first place. Mary was a gracious, welcoming, hospitable host; one I won't soon forget. The location is wonderful. As mentioned in her listing, it's a short 10-minute walk (approximately) if you take the bus in the from the airport, and about a 20/30-minute walk from many great attractions that Dublin has to offer. As for the neighborhood itself, there are some fantastic coffee shops and eateries as well as grocers, so you've got all your immediate needs right at your doorstep. Literally. (Italian sandwich shop across the street was great lunch spot!)
As soon as I arrived, Mary welcomed me with a cup of tea and soon had me on my way with a list of sights and destinations. As much as I loved my time exploring Dublin, the best part of my trip to Dublin was meeting Mary. I look forward to staying with her again the next chance I get!
