We ended our Ireland trip at Linda's and it worked out perfect for a few nights in Dublin. It was about a €20 cab ride. We walked into city center our first night and utilized the bus system the rest of our time. We just had to get the right change €2.70--they only take exact amounts for buses.
Her space was welcoming. Comfy beds and pillows- the best during our time in Ireland. She provided a delicious cup of coffee, scones and yogurt for breakfast, along with great recommendations on food, pubs and bakeries. I would definitely recommend Linda's space for time in the city.
