Patrick's room (plus a very functional on suite) was a great place to explore Dublin from. It has a beaut pub " The Brian Boru" just up the road for a very reasonably priced dinner and free atmosphere. A delicious Breakfast can be had just over the bridge at Woodstock, in Phibsborough rd. Patrick is a very helpful host concerned with our well being, and looked after our luggage for us as we explored Dublin after checking out. We were able to get a bus from the airport and followed his directions to walk to his lovely house.
