Stayed at Francesco and Valentina place while up in Dublin to attend a course. I met Francesco on the evening of my arrival who had contacted me earlier that day to say the room was ready and very good instructions as to how to get there and how to enter the building. The room was airy and spacious and the bathroom was lovely and clean. After that I didn't meet the hosts but I never felt like it was an issue. I would recommend staying with them, they were very near the city via luas and I actually walked into the city one morning with very good instructions from Francesco and if you like walking it was a lovely walk. I was sorry I didn't meet Valentina but I would not have any hesitation staying at their home again.
