Melanie has this hosting thing figured out. She has a whole notebook full of everything from instructions on how to work the shower to recommendations for the best pubs--everything you could need. She's friendly and helpful--even asked if I needed anything when she made a run to the grocery store. And the Irish foods she left out for breakfast were a great touch.

The tram into the city center is really convenient. Just a 10-minute ride, and just a few Euro round-trip. The room and the house are spacious and light, and you have a great bathroom with great water pressure all to yourself.

Five stars!
