Conor's home is in a quiet estate at the edge of Sutton, but access to the city centre is very easy, either using DART (railway) or by bus. Coming from and going to the airport is also very quick, which is convenient if you have an early flight out.
Conor is the warmest and most welcoming host. I felt the truly at home staying at his house. He gave me excellent advice on things to see and do. The morning chats during breakfast were quite enjoyable and very informative. He helped me with anything I needed.
If you don't need to be in the centre this is more than an excellent option. The room is very cozy and ideal for the solo traveler.
Howth, which has some rather nice pubs, can be reached relatively quick on foot too.
