My husband and I really enjoyed staying at Gemma's place for ten days while I was teaching a class at UCD. Her place was very comfortable and clean, and nicely decorated. She provided plenty of pillows, linens and towels. We cooked most meals rather than eating out, due to my many food allergies, and her kitchen had everything we needed. She offered to provide some allergy free bread and milk, but I didn't take her up on it since we needed to go shopping anyways. Instead she drove us to Tesco to show us how to get there, which I really appreciated. The walk to campus was pleasant, and we were also in walking distance to a Luas stop. I would definitely recommend staying there.
