Declan is very friendly and always replied within a short time. The house is not big but very cozy. When the weather is fine, lying on the bed you can see the moon through the upper window. Drumcondra is between city centre and the airport. Sometimes we just walk to the city centre to visit museums or have a meal (about 30 minutes). If you have time to do so, it is definitely a great way to explore this amazing city!
