Ann was an extremely lovely host with good craic/banter. The place was immaculate and Ann was very kind to leave out dishes and cutlery in the morning for our breakfast. The room had lovely complementary items including tea for us Brits! Ann replied readily on WhatsApp whenever we had questions.
The location is perfect. It's an 8-10 minute walk from Killester station and has a bus stop outside. It's perfect if you have bought a visitor leap card.
Be aware that the shower has a limit of 10 minutes per person. This was signposted. Ann never verbally enforced this so it was a mutual respect between host and guest. I'm sure if you go a couple of minutes over 10 it wouldn't be a bother. It's just something to be aware of.
The bedroom and the carpet was extremely comfortable. To my knowledge there was no curfew but we never returned later than midnight anyway.
Whilst Ann is a live in host, you have your own shower and you can have a quiet meal in the kitchen if you prefer not to be disturbed.
I would definitely stay at Ann's again and I would recommend it for any pair of friends going to Dublin for the first time.
