Amanda's place was just like the description on the site. The room was comfortable, we had no problems with the hot water or anything else, really. A Tesco is open 7/7 from 7.00am-00.00, and it is 15' walk, in the small shopping mall near the house. The little garden in front of the room was under construction when we visited, but I can only imagine how pleasant it will be, when all is finished, to have a coffee out there or just relax with a glass of wine after a whole day of sightseeing. What we liked the most was the complete privacy and yet the feeling that if anything was needed, they were there to answer questions or help.
Our hosts were very flexible with check-in and check out times and they even woke up at 5.00am the day we left to sort out a misunderstanding we had with the taxi ordered to take us to the airport.
The DART train station is close and also the bus stops for the city center, with only a short, pleasant walk through an authentic Irish suburb.
