We would highly recommend staying with Sam in Dublin. The room was clean, warm and comfortable and was equipped with plenty of maps and brochures of things to do while in Dublin. The location was perfect, close enough to everything in the city center that we could walk anywhere in a few minutes but far enough away that it wasn't too crowded or noisy. We didn't get to spend much time with our hosts but they were so helpful in checking in and getting settled as well as helping us find our way around town. We hope to be back to stay here again and will definitely recommend Sam's place to any friends traveling to Dublin!
