My friend and I were visiting Dublin for the first time, and we wanted to stay just outside of the main City Centre, but close enough to easily travel in each day. Richard's accommodation was in a lovely area and the location fitted our criteria perfectly; the bus stop is a 2minute walk which took you straight to the City Centre in 10 minutes. It is also a very easy walk to the Centre (taking about 40mins) with lots of lovely shops, cafes and pubs etc. on route if the weather is good!
On arrival at our accommodation Richard was incredibly welcoming and his fantastic hospitality continued throughout our stay. Richard was very responsive whenever we had a question during our trip - he was there to help with any tips or advice to ensure we got everything we wanted out of our time in Dublin! He kindly gave us some 'hop-on hop-off' bus passes to use on our trip and even gave us change for the bus into town on our first day (as the buses do not give you change so its good to ensure you always have the right bus fare!)
The accommodation itself looked even better than the photos - quirky chairs and artwork throughout, very spacious, clean and lots of little finishing touches to make it really homely! Richard generously provided us with some fresh bread, cheese and essentials in the kitchen on arrival (tea, coffee, milk etc.), as well as a lovely bottle of red wine! He also provided us with an information pack about the local areas on arrival which was very useful to have on our first time to Dublin.
We had a great time in Dublin and the accommodation and Richard's kind hospitality were undoubtedly key factors for making it such a fantastic trip!
I would highly recommend this accommodation to all!
