We took the 120 bus from town in order to get to a modern neighbourhood (25 mins bus drive), where Sonja lives. Because we couldn't find it right away we called Sonja and she came out immediately to greet us. She is extremely friendly, open, outgoing and we enjoyed many good conversations with her. She made us feel well-informed by writing down a list of things to do and see in Dublin, including restaurants and sightseeings she recommends. Our room was located on the 2nd floor and our private bathroom was right next to it. Both, our room and bathroom, were clean and the interior is modern. We were provided with multiple towels and toiletries (toothpaste, shower gel, etc.). Breakfast (cereal, muesli, milk) was included. Because we told Michael, Sonja's partner, that we liked porridge, he went out of his way to prepare breakfast for everyone. Michael happily dropped us off at 6 AM for a small fee.
Overall, amazing hosts. We would definitely recommend a stay here! Thanks Sonja and Michael!
