Colm was a great host. He accommodated our request to check in early. He provided us with a Leap card to use the public transportation system in Dublin as well as teaching us how to use it and where to refill the card. He gave great suggestions as to activities. In addition, when my daughter got dehydrated he was very helpful, getting her a bag of ice and offering to take us to the doctor if needed. While the carpet on the stairs could use a refresh, the room we stayed in was sparkling clean, the bathroom close and clean. It looked like it had recently been updated. There was a clean common room with a television, snacks and hot water for tea or coffee. Colm even provided materials for fire in the fireplace one night. The house was for the most part very quiet. There was one day when we didn't see or hear another person but Colm had given us his phone number so were able to reach him when needed (we had purchased a sim card to use in Dublin). The room had a lock so we felt very safe and comfortable leaving our possessions while we explored Ireland and check out was as simple as leaving the keys on the front entry table.
