We (two older women) chose Kiernan's place as much for the enthusiastic reviews of his hospitality as for the location. At first we were taken aback that we didn't have a private bathroom (our mistake), but it helped that the bathroom/bedroom area was separated by a door from the main living area. In fact, Keirnan was so respectful of our privacy, we felt like the bedroom bathroom area was our private area. Keirnan's warmth and hospitality exceeded our expectations. He went out of his way to be quietly and graciously helpful whenever he could. He was attentive to our needs without ever being intrusive. His guidance was invaluable to our having a rich Dublin experience, especially to the upstairs room at Divetts where we enjoyed a fantastic jam session of Irish musicians. It was one of the highlights of our two week Ireland visit, as was Kiernan whose hospitality and engaging conversations enriched immeasurably our Irish experience. Thank you, Keirnan, for a wonderful stay in Dublin.
