Aoife is a very welcoming host; her home is stylish and well set - up for her guests. It's a ten minute walk to O'Connell Street, where you can pick up bus and coach tours, and go shopping in pedestrianised streets. I recommend the Big Bus Company tours if you don't know Dublin- lots of fascinating things to see. The National Gallery is amazing and the exhibition of the 1916 Easter Uprising at the GPO well worth a visit...all within easy reach of Aoife's comfortable home!
