We stayed at Mick's place the first four nights that we were in Dublin. It was a great start to our three-week trip in Ireland. He was very helpful and accommodating to our particular needs-- including lending us a yoga mat to work out the kinks of an 11- hour flight and giving us full access to his apartment, including his kitchen. Mick also provided a written list of recommendations for places to explore in Dublin. In addition, he is a musician and he suggested music venues in other parts of the country.
