Alan is the perfect host. I got lost getting to him and he came to pick me up. All of his help was above and beyond what you would expect. His house is lovely, neat and clean and is truly a home away from home. On a very quiet street only a 5 minute walk to buses that take to you the center of town and if you are so inclined only a 45 minute walk to the center of Dublin. Grocery shopping is five minutes away and a 15 minute walk to a local mall and the local village. Lovely neighbourhood. Highly recommend his place.
