If you want to enjoy a full Dublin experience, you should definitely stay at MaryAnns and Ciaráns place. The room is really nicely decorated and quite spatious. The house is really beautiful as well. Moreover, MaryAnn and Ciarán are great and relaxed hosts. MaryAnn knows all the newest places and hotspots and history of Dublin as well and chatting with her was 'good craic'! We felt really welcome. It's about a 20/30 minute walk to the city centre, but the walk is nice and leads you to lots of bars, cafes and shops. Would definitely stay here again if we were to visit Dublin!
