We had a short stay with Alejandro in June. He was very helpful and welcomed us on our arrival. The area has a studenty feel and plenty of cafés (can recommend Aussie bbq for budget burgers, and Manifesto for an amazing pizza in a nice restaurant). It was a great location for visiting Dublin as it's a 25 minute walk into the city centre, past St Stephens sq. The room was comfortable, all we needed as a base for a few days. Free, secure parking was a really helpful bonus!
