Susan is the loveliest host one could hope to have. Since this was my first solo trip abroad, I was a little nervous but within minutes of meeting Susan she felt like family to me. Upon arrival Susan showed me the ins and outs of her home and made me feel so welcome. She offered me tea and toast as I had taken an overnight flight from Boston. Every day I enjoyed chatting with her over coffee and breakfast. My room was quite lovely as it looked out on the street with a nice large window. My bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was sparkling clean upon arrival. Susan's home is located within a short walk to two different bus routes, both of which will take you into the center of Dublin. I bought a 7 day visitor LEAP pass for 40 euro which allowed me unlimited use of the bus and DART trains. Susan's home is also a 5 minute walk from a shopping center. I had an incredible week in Ireland. I hope to return in the near future and I would stay with Susan again in a heartbeat as I miss her already.
