We stayed at Carmen & Laurence's home for one night only on a quick stopover in Dublin in January. We'd picked the place as it had a little bit of character and they seemed like our type of people. We weren't at all disappointed with the apartment, our room or the welcome. We didn't spend much time there apart from to sleep and shower in the morning before we left, but the bed was comfortable, the place was clean, and everything went smoothly with check in and out. In fact, our only disappointment was that we would have liked to have more time to have more of a chat with Carmen & Laurence, but we had a pretty busy schedule whilst in the city, so we'll have to save that for next time :) Would be happy to stay there again if they'd have us. Recommended for anyone who wants a good value-for-money place not too far from the centre, and relaxed and easy going hosts. 5/5 all round !
