A+++ Liana and her friendly pup Freddie were fabulous hosts. The place was spotless and Liana went out of her way to make our stay comfortable.
Getting into the the city was easy on a bus a few minutes walk from the house. 15 min walk from the bus from the airport.
There is also a nice restaurant and store just north of the place.
Advise for a fellow travelers is to get a leap bus card at the airport. You can't transfer between buses. Each ride is a new fee and the trams are a different system entirely.
If we come back to Dublin we hope to stay with her again.
