My room at Kirsty's was quiet and comfy. As she notes in her listing, it is quite small. It took me a few days to figure out the best way to get my suitcase out of my way was to simply put it on the far corner of the bed. Kirsty made me wonderful toast and coffee every morning and was extremely helpful with bus schedules, how to take the light rail, and what the fares were likely to be. She has the longest, coolest bathtub I've ever seen. She offered numerous tips on places I should try to see, and it was at her suggestion that I took the Dart to the fishing village of Howth one day, where I had fabulous, fresh seafood for lunch. I regret not taking a photo of her vintage clothesline, previously used by her grandmother. This was my first time in Dublin and I could not have picked a better hostess because she went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable in her home and in the city.
