Pre-booking communication with Karen was excellent and she did me the favour of holding the room until I was home at the weekend to scan in my passport and update my profile on this site. The location is ideal, only five minutes to the DART station and the house is practically on the seafront with great views of Dublin bay and the coast down to Dun Laoghaire; the village of Sandymount is only a short walk away and there is a circle K station close buy for buying a few bits and pieces. The house is spotless, the bedroom as well as the bathroom, and the shower is great with good water pressure and a wide range of shampoos, conditioners and shower gels on hand. I would definitely recommend this room for a good value, short to medium length stay in Dublin. A kettle to make tea or coffee would be nice and, with no access to the kitchen, a bigger bottle of water for the guests to drink would be practical. I had a bit of a run in with a cat one night-he bit and scratched me-so I'd advise anyone not to rub him, but all in all I enjoyed my stay with Karen, so it's a thumbs up and thanks from me.
