Marie is a lovely host and everything is exactly as in the description. If you just need to go to the city centre, Marie's place is just a 20 mins walk to temple bar area or you can take a bus; if you need to go somewhere else (such as ucd campus) plan ahead of time, as you might need to go to the city and change bus there. If you are waking up early pack one more jumper as the heater in the morning takes a while to start. Everything else was great, would go there again.
