Eddie is a fantastic host and his place is a great base for exploring the city. About one block from the entrance to Phoenix park and a 10 minute walk to the tram which takes you right into the city center. He made me feel at home while I was there. He was always happy to offer recommendations of restaurants and things to do. His house is beautiful...much of the interior looks to be original from 1890 (wood, doors, stained glass). I would absolutely stay here again if I ever make it back to Dublin.
