Clare's place is wonderful and has everything you'll need. She's such a nice person and you can tell that she loves hosting. I had a great time and lovely chats with her. It always felt like home.
The place is right next to a nice park, the bus stop is around the corner which takes you to the City and back. Clontarf is worth to see, the ocean is very close as well as Bull Island and Clontarf Castle. I highly recommend staying with Clare! :)
