I cannot compliment Fionnula and her family enough. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean, and provided me with extra blankets. it was so easy to communicate and get along with her and her family. She gave me endless cups of tea, and kept offering me food (though I was usually stuffed from lunch). She and her family have a remarkable ability to make you feel included and welcome. Sometimes my work is stressful, and her place was like a home away from home. I am a chronic insomniac but somehow I slept like a log at her place. The time between her home and central Dublin was less than 25 minutes by bus (even though the route said it was around 40 mins). The home is located in a very safe neighbourhood, and has several bus stops almost at her doorstep. Also, has a TESCOs close by in case you need any supplies.
